POP and the North coast is no different than the rest of the cities in the DR. You're correct in that if you get out into the Campos, things and people are different, but the same could be said and is true for Punta Ca?a, La Capital, or as we've seen just recently on DR1 Bavaro too.
I know I'm not the only expat that calls POP home, and yes you have Robberies, and other crimes here but a lot of the issues and fears you post of can be easily avoided. One is I don't walk around sporting gold chains or rings, and I don't walk around looking like I'd be an easy mark to get some far money from. RIP, but even this German man that was recently killed probably would still be alive if he hadn't resisted when they went to steal the gold chain from around his neck and possibly the gold chain was what they noticed and was why they marked him in the first place. However, I have found that if you are down to earth, and don't appear to have anything that would be robbers want, that you go pretty much unnoticed.
As far as the remainder of your NC description, I find that as in most places in the world including the NC that people usually "Get What They Put Out". One that puts off the vibe that they are better than others, or is snooty in one way or another will definitely be treated differently than one who comes off as a down to earth normal person that isn't much different than the Dominicans whose country you are a visitor in.
dago denies participation in murder of the german man: http://www.elcaribe.com.do/2016/02/20/presunto-asesino-aleman-niega-participacion
the article also mentions something interesting, dago's wife and son were held by the police to put more pressure on giving himself in: La misma noche del jueves fueron liberados la esposa de la Daga y su hijo, detenidos como forma de presi?n por parte de las autoridades para buscar su entrega.

Permiso. This thread is about a German killed on the Malicon in POP. I also believe that my response included comments on the killing as well as the non factual comments that were made regarding Puerto Plata. If my comment is the basis for the above quote, I'd like to know exactly why you deem it as off topic.
Respectfully,

Dead German... shot dead on the POP malecon... while a thieving of his necklace was in progress
Dead, two assassins....
end of story.
Reputation of POP , otherwise upstanding, now in question.
