The crime rate in Mexico at the end of 2017 is to be one of the bloodiest years in History making it one of the most dangerous places to travel. Authorities in Mexico are ran by Cartels so local citizens have had to find others ways to make the crime stop. With a lack of a working justice system and control, many people who live in these towns live by their own rules and regulations.If one particular neighborhood wants to put a stop to people stealing, they work together as a community to stop the crime instead of calling the police. Nearby store owners have reported several thefts over the last month. They claim that police patrols in the area are all but nonexistent, and that authorities have done nothing in response to the situation.
