Thanks for sharing this perspective John!
I just wanted to second the fact that just because crimes are reported/brought to your attention doesn't necessarily mean things are more dangerous (although it certainly could be the case). Everything's relative, for a truly informative crime map/s…
All very good points. I am far more hyper-aware now because of sites like this (and because of the rapid news cycle in general) --- and likely that has led to my current feeling/frustrations.
I appreciate the thoughtful reply --- and in some sense, this is exactly the kind of reassurance that I needed.
If we do move, I want to make the decision on my own terms (not due to a few isolated incidents).
And BTW, we are truly neighbors ... a…
Mike - I totally understand where you're coming from, and the last few weeks/months have shown a spike in crime, whether it be actual, or perceived because of potentially more media coverage. I am a father-to-be and hearing about any crime makes me…
Short answer: Yes, obviously what you feel is what you feel but I think you're being a bit alarmist, statistically we have experienced increases in some areas of crime in E-13 from 2008 to 2009, but have decreased in other areas.

Thanks for posting.
We adore JP (and have lived there for almost 7 years). The recent increase in criminal activity could be a random statistical blip or a trend. In either case, I no longer feel safe in my own neighborhood ... or even walking a short distance to or fr…
DEATH INVESTIGATION IN THE AREA OF 265 CENTRE STREET
At about 12:41am, on Tuesday, January 5, 2010, officers from Area E-13 (Jamaica Plain) responded to a radio call for shots fired in the area of 265 Centre Street. After conducting a search of the…
Look at the front page of this site - it's at citizens bank.
Does anyone know of a fund that we can donate to to send $ to his family back in (Nigeria?)
Here's the Globe story http://www.boston.com/news/local/massachusetts/articles/2009/12/27/man_fatally_shot_at_jamaica_plain_store/
Herald reports that it was a botched robbery.

What the heck is going on?
I would really like to know where the thugs are from (and in general, if there is a pattern of where the past muggers are from). They clearly are not our neighbors (other than by proximity or by ease of access). The police should keep up patrols, bu…
A group of neighbors who live in Jamaica Plain, MA Between Centre, Lamartine and Boylston.
I think the Stony Brook T-stop is an ideal vantage point for prevention. Yet, it is rarely patrolled and is often a source of unmitigated loitering, especially late at night.

- Welcome Michael,
We're glad you joined us on Jamaica Plain's soundboard for voices and springboard for action!
As you've heard, there have been a bunch of muggings happening around lately and we could sure use your help to get the word out to arm our neighbors with safety tips. Please see our SafeWalk group - for details.
We also need help running the network, please check out the Community Advocates group for roles that need to be filled and also check out the JP Volunteers group to find out what other organization in JP need help with.
While the focus at the moment is about keep and eye for each other and prevent crime, about 95% of what happens on this network is that we do fun stuff with and for each other. Please read, post, reply, think about, share, attend, and create anything you wish - if something does not exist that you want START IT!
We'd also really appreciate it if you'd invited your JP friends and neighbors to join us. You can do that here - http://jamaicaplain.neighborsforneighbors.org/main/invitation/new
