The silence is deafning!

You shouldn't feel uneasy about leaving the resort and walking anywhere. "Jamaican on Jamaican" crime is a fact of life. Since you (we) are only in Negril for a few days each year or similar, it is hard to know what goes on all year long. Perhaps there is more to the story but that won't be known for a while or maybe ever.

What I can say with some certainty is that crimes of violence against tourists are very rare. My motto is that you can't live a life while constantly looking over your shoulder and I will not avoid living my life either. I can't stay bottled up anywhere so I stay aware of my surroundings and I enjoy myself.

Catcha is a good place to stay and the management will help you avoid any problems that you should be aware of.

Have a great trip!

Peace and Guidance
