Geeze. This sucks. This stuff just doesn’t happen up there in the middle of nowhere.
Most on campus crime (aside from underage drinking) is committed by non-students.
It’s weird, I really can’t think of much more to say on this... Just not the Storrs I remember from my days up there.
“Most on campus crime (aside from underage drinking) is committed by non-students.”
Yes and no. On most college campuses, most on-campus *violent* crime is committed by non-students. However, the on-campus non-violent crime vastly outnumbers that - you’d be amazed at the amount of drug use and possession, indecent exposure/sexual harassment, DUI’s, petty larcenies, etc that happen on your typical college campus. For the most part, those crimes are ‘under the radar’ because they’re rarely reported, and when they are it’s probably not even going to make the campus paper’s crime blotter. And yes, most of those are committed by college students on most campuses (on spread-out ones like many colleges in NYC, or non-residential campuses, it’s likely that outsiders are responsible for a significant amount of crime).
