Police Report Reveals Tijuana Crime Numbers


December 9, 2002

Tijuana, Mexico -- A Tijuana neighborhood popular with tourists is one of the most dangerous in the city.

A new police report shows the downtown area called the "Zona Centro" had the highest number of crimes-per resident of any neighborhood in Tijuana.

The figures for October show there were 1.75 crimes reported for each 1,000 residents. The next highest rate was recorded in the Playas de Tijuana neighborhood, which had a crime index of 0.89 for every on 1,000 residents.

The index accounts for crimes ranging from robbery to homicide. The Zona Centro neighborhood includes the downtown area where tourists commonly flock to discos and bars on weekend nights.

Anonymous -

Maybe I'm missing something here - is there a source for this article or police report or whatever it is? It's probably there and I'm just not seeing it.

Crimes per resident in a comercial/tourist zone seems to be kind of a weird way to express the crime figures.

Thanks.

It's an AP report posted on NBC 7/39 San Deigo's website (KNSD):

I believe the numbers are high - I was just curious where they came from - I was mugged in the area a few years back.

It's not anonymous's fault - It's just incredible to me that a supposed news source would bother to put something like out without mentioning the source - all part of the dumbing-down I suppose.
