Crime

5 years ago
Hello All!

I have traveled to Jamaica numerous times without any issues. The last time I was there was in 2016. I have heard that the crime has risen where I will not be doing the things I used to do years ago. I never stayed in all inclusive hotels because I wanted the more local cultural experience which have been wonderful. I am planning to come back this year but I am somewhat skeptical with all the crime stories lately. Can someone please give me a honest insight on how to be more safe in returning to the island. I know no place is perfect. Please no sarcastic comments. Thanks for any help!
