The majority of us (savvy Jamaica travelers) already KNOW how to be cautious, what areas to avoid, that not all of Jamaica is crime infested and not all Jamaicans are criminals. However, the above statement would lead those who never visited Jamaica or are new to the experience to believe otherwise. IMO, OP's statement has little to do with world-wide travel consciousness, but a lot to do with Jamaica, as a whole, being unsafe. Which is NOT true. How unfair that is not only to interested persons and frequent visitors, but to ALL of Jamaica.

The storms wiped out many travelers’ destinations so more and more are looking at Jamaica to be their new escape. A lot of them will find this message board and hopefully be convinced by its many supporters providing sound advice & recommendations, to give the rock a try. Sharing a heading like that without detailed facts or a supporting link will have them putting on breaks and looking further south. Why???? all because an individual who often shares their personal frustrations about Jamaica’s imperfections, found yet another sore to openly rub raw. And that just ain’t “cool runnings”.
