There is crime and violence and people kill each other, all over the world and since the beginning of human history. It will always be that way and naive to think otherwise. Every country has places that it's more likely to occur than others. San Pedro is a tourist destination and the whole of it's economy depends on tourist visiting. Whether it is true or not that our crime rate is high, if they don't visit because of concerns about their safety we all have a big problem. Public relations and better quality of police seems to be the answer.
