Living here for nearly the last 2 decades now, I cannot agree. In this day and age, with nearly everyone having access to the internet, I cannot fathom how crime would be swept under any rug. There would be neighbors, witnesses and victims who would post their information on many different websites, as well as reporters who make a living writing stories that sell newspapers and tv and radio advertising. Any story of interest would be immediately reported. But as with anywhere - some things are just not deemed newsworthy or the victim simply doesnt want their name involved with the incident for any number of reasons.
I cannot think of any serious, real crime in Negril that has not been reported by the news services or on the internet in recent years. The fact of the matter is that crime is a rather rare occurrence in Negril, which I suppose could lead one to believe that things are being swept under the carpet. But the truth of the situation is that with the internet, there would have to be some kind of grand conspiracy to prevent events from coming to light. And which is more likely, that crime is rare in Negril, or that the various and opposing "powers that be" are somehow getting together and preventing everyone who knows of a crime from posting this information?
