Did you notice this tidbit buried in the story?

"Violent crime, such as home invasions, armed robberies, and homicide, is common. Sexual assaults occur frequently, even at all-inclusive resorts. Local police lack the resources to respond effectively to serious criminal incidents."

Having visited Jamaica and stayed at the N resort, I look back on the day my wife and I walked a couple of miles down the beach and back in the nude. We were told it was completely safe to do so, so we just trusted the people that told us and we did. I remember seeing Jamaicans up on the paved path above the beach looking at us and thinking to myself "I'm literally totally exposed here, if someone had bad intentions for me or, even worse, my wife, there's almost nothing I could do to protect her other than fight with my bare hands". I suppose one thing in our favor was that we clearly had nothing of value.

Not wanting to spook her, I think that's about the time I mentioned that I was tired and wanted to head back.....
