 Cuernavaca is safer than most North American cities of its size, and it has none of the major problems associated with Mexico City.
One can take taxis with complete security and not a single taxi robbery has been reported. At the largest language school with thousands of students per year, not one single incidence of violence has been reported in the last decade.
Most crime is petty theft and pick-pocketing in crowded places like tourist markets and buses.
Of course one needs to take precautions typical of any large city, like not walking alone late at night. Women are advised to take radio taxis to avoid being propositioned by drivers. Radio taxis are available 24 hours a day, the driver is known to the dispatcher, and the cost is just a bit more than a public bus in the U.S.
