As my children aged we visited some colleges in nearby Newark NJ; I was shocked at how many safety features have been added to deal with the fears of students - and their parents - about the environment. It is all moot if the predator is some affirmative action or athletic scholarship “student”; the females are no safer inside the fortified compounds than outside. They were also adding parking decks because they understand the days of students getting off a bus a few blocks away and walking through Northwest Mogadishu are over; they either provide secure parking, or close the schools.

It’s all moot if a vic is his or her worst enemy. Being out alone, at 2 AM, likely impaired is not a smart thing to do. Why make it easy for a perp?

Newark, cant even imagine what the schools would be like knowing what I know about it. The other factor to think about is most of these schools are run by ultra liberal PC correct morons. So their first priority is not protecting the student population.

Our local college has installed police call boxes everywhere on campus with bright blue lights showing where they are. It seems like there is one every 100 years or so. But as soon as you step off campus there are no call boxes and no blue lights (It’s not a bad area at all)—and the girls (because that’s who the lights are for) are back in the real world.

I processed into the Army out of the Newark MEPS. Their hotel of choice for those staying overnight for processing, was the Royal Inn in East Orange. On our floor at night, were 3 or 4 MPs, I jokingly asked one if they were here to make sure no one AWOL. He told me that he wasn’t there to keep us in, he was there to keep the Section 8’ers out.
