INEGI's third security survey doesn't make for happy reading. Judging by its results, Mexicans don't feel very safe. Here are some of the salient findings:
--Nearly 3 of every 4 Mexicans surveyed (72.4%) feel that it's not safe to live in their city.
--Almost 2/3 of people surveyed (64.9%) think the security situation will be equally bad or worse a year from now.
--Two out of every three people surveyed have seen or heard or a robbery in their neighborhood in the last three months.
--Vandalism is a fact of life: 56.5% of respondents reported seeing or hearing of acts of vandalism in their homes or businesses in the last three months.
--Two-fifths of respondents saw or heard of the sale or use of drugs in their neighborhood in the last three months.
--Gangs are another unpleasant reality for many Mexicans: a third of respondents reported seeing or hearing about gangs in their neighborhood in the last three months.
--A quarter reported gunshots in their neighborhoods in the last three months.
--People have changed their habits: 65% said they've changed their habits in terms of carrying valuable objects. Strolling around their home after 8:00 PM is something that half of respondents have re-thought. Nearly half (47.6%) have re-thought letting their underage children go outside to play.
--Seven out of ten people surveyed don't think much of the efficacy of state and local police: 28.1% said the police were not effective (28.1%) while 42.1% thought they were a "little bit effective".
