[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As my friend who is a reporter and author covering crime and criminal justice policy frequently says, conventional wisdom on crime is always wrong.  PP’s implicit assumption that suburbs or small towns are safer than large cities is not correct — small towns with ineffective policing are some of the most dangerous places in the country per capita.

Here’s a data driven analysis of the 25 most dangerous colleges based on rates of reported violent crime.  The methodology is explained so that readers can judge for themselves if they agree.

Temple is not on this list, but Stanford, UCLA, USC, U of Minnesota, Auburn, Texas Tech, Texas state, University of Houston, UAB, UF Gainesville, and UC San Diego are.

Its better to look at data than ask the opinions of uninformed internet strangers (including me - I haven’t looked closely at the methodology of this list).

I'll save you some time: the methodology here leaves much to be desired. Put simply, anyone who thinks Auburn is more dangerous than Temple is totally 'tarded.[/quote]
So, leaving aside your gross use of a slur referring to people with intellectual disabilities, you don’t actually say what you think is wrong with the methodology.  It’s pretty clear cut after all.  I suspect, based on your chosen slur, that your opinion has zero to do with data and everything to do with your own prejudices.

PP is an object lesson in the conventional wisdom about crime being dead wrong.  They probably think they are also more at risk from terrorism than they are from a car accident because that’s what they saw on TV. [/quote]
