Safer in Jamaica than a major city in the USA... Not true.

There are statistics for this.

Jamaica has one of the highest per capita murder rates in the world.

Go ahead, say it doesn't happen to tourists. Not exactly true. There are plenty of stories out there about crime against tourists...

HarryS,

I understand that you have emotional feelings as do we. He was someone we know. We are not even to nine night yet. Our feelings are raw. We knew him.

But even with that being said, Jamaica is safer per capita than both St. Louis and Baltimore, similar to Detroit and New Orleans.

As for our visitors, we had somewhere between 1.5 to 2 million US visitors last year. Our visitor crime stats for that number of people are virtually non-existent.

I know one crime is too many, but lets try not to let emotions exaggerate the facts.

As a many times a year visitor...…… I Agree 1000 %
