The Eagle recently editorialized on appearances that crime had increased on and around AU's campus. At that time, Public Safety attributed the increase in crime to more comprehensive Cleary Act-mandated crime reporting as opposed to an actual increase in crime. While the events of the past week do not completely undermine that conclusion, they are enough to give AU students pause. Among the usual transports and robberies reported in this week's police blotter were a few more serious incidents. One involved an AU student who was sexually assaulted on Nebraska Avenue. The other incident involved three students who had a gun pulled on them during an attempted robbery while they were walking back to campus along Nebraska Avenue. An assailant pulled the gun's trigger, but fortunately something went wrong and the gun didn't fire. A Homeland Security officer chased the attackers away and the victims did not sustain any injuries. These incidents serve as a necessary reminder that AU is located in a city; a city that, according to crime statistics from the Congressional Quarterly, is one of the most dangerous in America.
