Is there a lot of crime in Mexico City?

"Yes, there is a significant level of crime in Mexico City. The Mexican capital has seen an increase in violent crime in recent years, such as murders, robberies and kidnappings, as well as an increase in drug-related activities. The local police have responded by increasing security measures, such as deploying more officers in high-crime areas and implementing detailed plans to combat criminal activity. Despite this, Mexico City still has one of the highest crime rates in Latin America," remarked another expat who made the move to Mexico City, Mexico.
