I know the numbers the university publishes are likely unreported, but I have a hard time believing things are that much more bleak than when I started at Temple in 2010. People are acting like the area surrounding the university had some halcyon days where students could walk around without care, which was never my impression. Also, my old heads near my apartment at 17th and Jefferson always told me that Temple students were only targeted by the stupidest or most desperate criminals, as those were the targets that would create the most attention.
