My brother lived in Mexico City for a few years. He said its basically like any other big city in that it is made up of neighborhoods. Some neighborhoods are as safe as any other place in the world. Some are really dangerous. Some police look for bribes, others don't. Of course, the difficult thing for a foreigner is that you don't know which neighborhoods are what. I'm sure a few hours of research could give one a fairly good idea where they will be safe and where they are taking greater than normal risks.
