murder in westend again

[Rob]

The JCF would not have a published breakdown in their semi-annual and annual reports for the West End of Negril.

Negril is not considered a town yet, it is considered a village. It's numbers would be at most broken out as Negril as a whole (both Westmoreland and Hanover) but the numbers are generally included in the Westmoreland figures.

The West End is simply a nickname that the local residents came up with to differentiate it from the beach area. It is nothing "official". One Love Drive or the West End Road was originally called the Lighthouse Road. All three names can be used interchangeably.

From a living here standpoint, there does not seem to be any noticeable increase in the number of homicides, perhaps even a drop from last year. But there has been a whole lot more discussion on the internet about the incidents that have happened this year over the ones that happened last year.

Hopefully the additional discussion will lead to change. The more attention brought to the situation will likely bring additional resources. Or is that wishful thinking?
