Mexico isn't as bad as everyone (especially travel advisory-- don't read it) like to tell you. Most violence happens to natives and only petty crimes (muggings, pick pocketing) usually happen to tourists. If he takes normal precautions like not wearing flashy jewelry, not putting his wallet in his back pocket, not carrying around a laptop, not going out alone at night, taking registered taxis, he'll be fine. The tourists that get prayed on are the stupid ones who get drunk, walk alone at night, and carry lots of money. He'll be fine.
