Solid thread anon, I think the crime in some of these countries has been magnified to such a degree as to cause public perception that its entirely unsafe to travel there.

Staying safe -

1) Don't go drinking yourself silly in these countries, do not accept drinks from anyone
2) Be wary of walking around in the dark particularly in cities, since thieves may mark you
3) Be where crowds are, where people are, in the light, and return to your hotel when you're done licking the cocaine off a hookers anus.

Its just about common fucking sense and the hysterical media assume everyone is too dumb to think rationally. You don't need to worry so much, since you and most people in this thread are not a retard.
