Is Violent Juárez Truly Getting Safer?
The city on the US-Mexico border is known for the brutality of drug cartels. Despite a drop in murders, many fear it may spike again.
In 2007, there were 320 murders in one year. By 2010, that number reached more than 3,000 murders. Last year, the killings went down to about 2,000 people.
