When we read about all this crime on the island, it is important to remember that with social media and forums such as this one, there is more of a spotlight on the crime.
How many people are going to come to this forum and say "I went to Front Street, walked up and down the street and there were no incidents". Has SXM's crime gone up? Probably. But I am not sure it has gone up quite so much as the skewed view given by social media and forums.
