I was referring, specifically, to the issues of corruption and organized crime. But even considering the general murder rate, I'm going to go out on a limb and guess that your likelihood of being murdered in Mexico vary tremendously depending on where in Mexico you are. Maybe I'm wrong, but I'm guessing there are some areas that are pretty safe and some areas that you'd have to be brain-dead stupid to walk into.
1. Most of the murders in Mexico are from drug cartels. Are you saying that the cartels are NOT a form of organized crime??
2. If you go to the URL I posted, Mexico and the US are broken down by states. The are only 3 states in Mexico with a murder rate below the US average.
