With a crime rate of 56 per one thousand residents, Syracuse has one of the highest crime rates in America compared to all communities of all sizes - from the smallest towns to the very largest cities. One’s chance of becoming a victim of either violent or property crime here is one in 18. Within New York, more than 99% of the communities have a lower crime rate than Syracuse.

One of my coworkers is an Orangemen. Even 20 years ago after games at the Carrier Dome they were warned to stay close to campus.

I graduated from SU in 1985. Route 81 separates University hill from the African American part of town. The highway acts as a dividing line. The worst problems happened at the nursing school, because their dorm(90% women) was right next to the highway. Even 30 years back you had to have a resident of that dorm come down to the first floor to sign you in if you were visiting. Assaults and rapes were a problem back then.

Syracuse is an old manufacturing city where many of the well paying jobs have moved overseas. The SU campus dominates the southeastern corner of the city. Southwest corner was no go area. Northwest was very industrial. Northeast was blue collar.

Shaquez!!! That is a great American name — it means: ‘Trashy Anti-American on Government Dole.’
