[I think the police are simply saying here that there are certain places that will get certain people into trouble if they go there. Young white girl going alone to bad part of town to purchase drugs is almost a guarantee of a robbery and/or murder. Sad, perhaps, but true. ]

If you look at Google Maps, you’ll see that this isn’t “a bad part of town” - the park is right across the street from the college dorms. Basically, the Columbia campus cops and security people dropped the ball.

I'm the biggest coward on earth and I'm no expert on NYC but to me any part of Manhattan that's north of 110th Street is "a bad part of town"...particularly after dark.

“look at Google Maps, you’ll see that this isn’t “a bad part of town” - the park is right across the street from the college dorms.”

Sorry friend. That “park” is the other side of the moon at night. Broadway side is where there is any activity: Subway stop, Noodle shop, Falafels etc . . . all the way down to 110th st.

Too many Uber-type delivery services to venture out and buy weed today.

Don’t blame the victim, but . . . WTF was she doing?

Columbia and Barnard are in a bad part of town. Venture off campus and you’re on your own.
