Each fall, thousands of students return to Lawrence for the fall semester. To local police departments, this means more work.
By Jim Petterson Kansan staff writer
Crime rate rises with population
Schuyler Bailey, KU police spokesman, said campus crime rates increased significantly between the summer when student populations decline, and the fall, when students return.
"The difference between summer and fall crime rates is like the difference between night and day." Bailey said. "We still have crime during the summer, but when people are gone, property is gone and people who might to steal don't have anything to steal."
Bailey said a primary reason for the increase in crime was the carelessness of some students.
"Criure increases campus wide," he said. "People just leave a lot more."
things lying around and that creates greater opportunities for theft."
Chris Mulvenon, Lawrence police spokesman, said the Lawrence police department also saw an alarm time and traffic accidents in the fall.
"There are more people unfamiliar with Lawrence driving so we see an increase in traffic accidents," Mulvenon said.
"We also see an increase in students being victimized," he said.
"There is an increase in the number of car stereos, speakers and equalizers being taken and a slight increase in residential burglaries around the campus."
"Don't leave valuables in the car," Mulvenon said. "Lock car doors and always roll up the windows. Check apartment door locks and windows and leave lights on."
Mulvenon said students could avoid becoming victims of crime if they used basic common sense.
