Is there a lot of crime in Acapulco?
We asked people if there is a lot of crime. They answered...
"Yes, Acapulco has been dealing with a high level of crime for several years. The city has been plagued by drug-related violence and gang warfare, which has led to a significant increase in homicides. Other common crimes include robbery, carjacking, and kidnapping. Despite the efforts of local law enforcement and the military to curb the violence, crime rates remain high. This has had a negative impact on tourism, which is a major source of income for the city. The U.S. Department of State has issued travel advisories for Acapulco due to the high crime rates," commented one expat who made the move to Acapulco, Mexico.
