Breaks my heart to see this happening. We were never the normal tourist type who stayed at the resort. We always rent a scooter and go to the little towns around Negril and mingle with the locals and have never felt afraid or uncomfortable. I hope this is resolved soon because we plan on bringing some family when we chave me this year. My plan is to move to Panama when I retire but until then Negril will always be our winter getaway. I would kill to have the old Negril back the way it was when i first went 25 years ago.
I am not sure what you have been told, but sounds like you have been misinformed.

You will be able to easily leave your resort, rent a scooter and go to the little towns around Negril and mingle with the locals just as you always have.

The information in this thread and this one,

pretty well explains what is happening and why.
