Crime concerns continue on UC Berkeley's campus. Hours after university officials spoke with parents to ease safety concerns, two people were attacked, one with a knife.

    To be honest the police in Cal just cash their checks and actually don’t help almost nothing to keeping the area safe. They don’t do rounds and if you call them they will arrive 20 mins late when they can arrive in 2 min. Obviously police needs money but specifically talking about UC Berkeley PD needs to actually do their job much better. The money they receive is not proportional to their actual job imo.

    Actually the students there are oblivious to their surroundings.. always have their ear-buds or headphones on and staring at their screens never looking around, hell they just walk into crosswalks without looking even when the lights are green packs of them just walk anyways.. the students are ridiculously unaware of anything around them. The police uc police department does a lot more than people think, just because when the random encounters happen and the police aren't there doesn't mean they aren't doing their jobs.. unfortunately Berkeley campus is an open campus and it leaves to dozens of random events.

    USC is where downtown LA meets the hood. After 2 students got killed some years back sitting in a BWW at night, they started not allowing non-students on campus after 8pm. They can do that b/c their campus is more compact & private. They also don't let the public enter their libraries at any time like they used to. A lot of it is just attitude. UC students/parents have the attitude they're getting a world class education for cheap so they can't rock the boat. USC students/parents pay $60k a year & make demands.

Just take a walk around the university and you see crazies running around, people with needle marks on their arms and legs, people sleeping in the street, and of course, the smell of marijuana. With this situation, I would expect crime to be on the rise. The city and the school should address the reason and work on a solution. Adding more security is just a band aid.
