You need to fix your url link, you have an extra http:// at the end.
also, by looking at some of the comments, they did not do a full study since some major cities were omitted. I would not put a lot of stock in the article. |

I don't put much faith in these types of lists.

As a person who regularly reads the Fburg police blotter and used to live near Petersburg, I'm gonna go with the list is inaccurate.
Also, all of Fredericksburg's problems can be traced to two areas of town. |

Richmond = VCU campus not UVA; although as recent press shows, UVA/Charlottsville has it's own issues.

I wasn't aware Frednecksburg was dangerous. But then again, I just shop and eat there, not try and buy crack from the prostitutes. So I've got that going for me, which is nice.

Quote History Maybe , but not unsafe. Unless youre a drunk co-ed who is DTF up until the day , or 2 years, afterward. Hope you don't plan to run for office. I know it's off the original topic but that attitude is f'd up. The Pro gun community is missing a great chance to point out that our university's prohibit the carrying of arms for self defense, 18 year Olds are prohibited from purchasing handguns or being licensed to carry concealed and rape / attempted rape us a lawful reason to use deadly force for self defense no matter the victims age. No means no and a gunshot provides a nice exclamation point. We need women of the Pro gun side, not people like you alienating them. |

I dont see how that has anything to do with the pro-gun / anti-gun debate neither. And yes , I realize there are many cases where the female was actually assaulted and the perp should be prosecuted to the fullest. |

I dont see how that has anything to do with the pro-gun / anti-gun debate neither. This is a gun board and pro gun by its nature. I don't know how much new traffic this site gets from new users who may be trying to learn about guns and the gun community, but if I was a female reader I would have said the heck with these pro gun guys. Maybe I went to far. I would like to see the VDCL go to lobby day and talk about this issue. There are lots of women across the state infuriated by the failure of the institutions to protect them. The should be equally or more infuriated that the state prevents them from protecting themselves by threat of criminal or civil action since they are on college campuses and not 21 years old (for a CCW permit) |

FWIW - a lifelong friend of mine has a daughter who was attacked at UVA. Typical situation, there was a party she knew a really drunk guy and was naive (stupid) enough to want to help him get home. He attacked her leaving huge bruises on many personal areas, but she was able to get away before worse happened. Went to court and the judge said "I know you are guilty but don't want to ruin your life"; kid gets off. UVA kicks him out for a year, he's back now. UVA has SERIOUS issues and as a taxpayer I'm pissed that they let this crap go on for so long. Drunken frat boys need to know their limits or go to jail.

I Agree that he should have been reprimanded and not just let off by the judge. Thats ridiculous. At least she did go to the police. The girl in the Rolling Stone article never did, only went to the magazine and that was after two years. But with that said, how is UVA responsible for your friends daughter being assaulted by the guy ? Did she report it to the school and the school cover it up ? It sounds as though she reported to the police and he was arrested, the judge then scewed it up. The judge doesnt work for the school so how is the school responsible ? |

Reported it to the school, went through the "student council" he got a UVA vacation for a year and is back & will have his UVA degree. I'd prefer sexual predators not be welcomed back taking a slot from a non sexual predator. This isn't a "student council" issue to me, but a law enforcement & university issue; neither showed an interest. Boy this went way off track. Sorry for the venting guys, that wasn't my intent. |

They probably roll in all the shoplifting/larceny arrests at the Central Park Wal-Mart which would jack the numbers up. It seems the police are on-site about half the time I stop there. |

From store: Once we eliminated any places that did not report their crime data to the bureau, we were left with 37 places to look at.

No, and I am neither for drunk driving or date rape.
I am just wondering if someone can explain why if you are drunk and driving you are responsible, but if you are drunk and do other things, you are not by virtue of being drunk. There is probably a good explaination, but it escapes me right now. Quote HistoryQuoted: Date rape much in college ? |

Sexisim. The automatic default in today's society is that a woman is a victim unless proven otherwise. And to prove otherwise is a very high bar to reach with plenty of potential problems for anyone that tries. Terrible things happen and there are plenty of real victims but it shouldn't stop the gathering of all the facts and using them to make an objective judgement.

Don't really go to Roanoke that much and have only been to Danville a handful of times, but Danville surely is a larger shit hole than Roanoke on it's worse day.
