Locals or visitors, people are not going to want to frequent a place that has an overabundance of crime of any type.
With an average of 13 murders per 100'000 people, St Martin is well below the Caribbean average, for example Jamaica has 52 per 100k people.
This is not by any means an overabundance of crime.
Tourists still flock to the Bahamas where the murder rate is 30 per 100k and that in the US Virgin Islands is even 33 per 100k.
