Campus Safety Alert...

I got my first "Campus Safety Alert" today. It took not even 48 hours for the first crime on campus to take place. This has been an issue since I first stepped on campus almost 3 years ago. Steps have been put into place to try to fix the issue like the S.A.F.E. program. I saw quite a drop in email notifications in the second semester of last year, but it looks like the criminals have short term memory loss thus far. There are a few measures I think that the city/school/residents could take beyond what they are attempting right now:
  • City/School - Better lighted streets. The street lighting in the campus neighborhood is terrible and can be improved greatly.
  • Residents - Stop being stupid when it comes to night transportation. There are a lot of naive students around campus who think that they won't be a victim. It doesn't take much to call B.O.S.S. or walk with other people.
