For the most part, Azerbaijan is not dangerous at all. Things like petty crime, pickpocketing and scams arent unheard of and tourists are often targeted. Azerbaijan also has to deal with political instability as well as violent conflict in the region Nagorno-Karabakh (disputed with Armenia).

Is Azerbaijan safe to live?

Azerbaijan is relatively safe to visit but you should watch out for both petty and violent crime. In Baku, the capital of Azerbaijan, you should expect crime like in many cities around the world, but the problem here is that petty crime made way for more violent types of crime, some of them involving foreigners.
