Point well taken. Hopefully this Superintendent was trying to prevent anyone from dismissing the danger by assuming the victim was somehow putting herself at higher than normal risk (by soliciting for prostitution, buying/selling/using dope, etc. in a “bad” area). People should never assume that they can remain safe by merely not “doing something wrong”. Or he could be a complete idiot.

I read it as, "She wasn't doing anything risky or foolish, therefore, these are some very brazen rapists and women need to be hyper-aware."

I read it as it was transcribed.

People in positions of power need to be mindful of what they say and how they say it, at ALL times. If he was not aware of what he said (which I think is most likely), to me it says that he is not “up” to the position he is in, either intellectually or educationally, or both. In any case, he needs to fix this problem ASAP, or get out of that position. Otherwise, he just beclowns himself, and degrades the position he is in.
