VOX POP: With murders down 35%, do you feel safer in Jamaica?

Описание: #JamaicaGleaner
In this episode of Gleaner Vox, we hit the streets of Portmore to ask one simple but powerful question:
👉 Do you feel safe in your community?

Portmore, once known as a crime hotspot, has seen significant changes in recent years. But do residents feel the difference? We spoke to real people to get their honest thoughts on crime, community safety, and day-to-day life in Portmore.

🔊 Here’s what they had to say:

Some feel safer now that gunshots are no longer heard regularly

Others are still on edge, especially those who rely on taxis to move around

Some believe that “minding your business” is the key to staying out of trouble

Others acknowledge that while things are better, safety still depends on where you are and what you do

This video captures the complex reality of safety in Jamaica — where peace in one area may not reflect the full picture.
