dude seriously, it's major propaganda.. yes there are gangs, but the implication from Ross Kemp's show is that you should stay the FUCK away from Belize City or you're gonna get a hand grenade thrown at you or something.. it's BULLSHIT
Belize City is no worse than East Hastings in Vancouver, I've been there a few times and never had any problems whatsoever, and I'm female (which yes, does actually make a difference in this country LOL)
Of course, with so many cooler places to visit in Belize; like Caye Caulker, San Pedro, Placencia and the Mayan ruins as well as being host to the second largest coral reef in the world (excellent snorkelling/diving with sharks, manatees, sea turtles, etc), there are plenty of cool things to do in Belize without getting involved/exposed to the gang crap
