15 Worst College Crime Areas

Any kid who doesn't immediately recognize Waco as a festering pit of despair that needs to be avoided at all costs... Well, they probably don't have the mental capacity to gain admission at North Texas.

Man, you'll do anything to get a head, won't you?

Any time Riley is on the field there are numerous thefts of the football ball. That shoulda got us on here.

I kid, I kid. Too easy.

I'm glad you clarified what sort of object a football is - I would have been really confused otherwise!

Wow - both UT and Ohio St made the Top 10 - twice each!!

I know they are so proud.

I'm not going to "subscribe" to find out, but I can't imagine Texas Wesleyan University, located in the Poly Heights section of east Fort Worth not having one of, if not the title in the violent crime category for college campuses. There's been several murders within a block or two the past year, one of which I made myself, and countless attempted murders, let alone the theft and drug trafficking that goes on a daily basis, all within a block or two. How they keep their doors open is a miracle to me. And hasn't TCU had a series of rapes the past year?

I would take some self defense courses and probably rethink being so honest. Remember, on the first day, go try to beat up the biggest badass and, should you come out ok, the rest may leave you alone.

[GrandGreen]

I am surprised no one has mentioned the obvious correlation between UT football players' criminal activities and the crime rate in their area.

I had to read this post a couple of times b/c on it's face it appears you just confessed to murder. I realize you meant you responded to the crime as a public servant.

Also, the stats are for property crimes. I'm not sure murder or rape count as a property crimes.

Lousy 13th and 19th amendments...

Good thing the 21st amendment lets me dull the pain of our modern society.

I can't believe the University of Houston didn't make the top 15.

[Shuke-D]

I can't believe the University of Houston didn't make the top 15.

If they were in a better urban-conference, their ranking would immediately go up regardless of the criminal talent on the roster.

Exactly what I was thinking as well. In fact, when I first visited U.H. I thought the area it's located in looked like a large version of Texas Wesleyan's area.

I have had the priveledge of working with our departments' most senior FF on my shift, at my station the past 5 years. He's been working the Poly area for over 36 years and whenever we get out to do inspections and have the time for him to reflect back, he'll point to a certain corner or building or business and tell us....

"...there was a double murder there,...they shot the clerks head off with a shotgun in this store back in.???,...A prostitute had her ------ cut off behind that building,..had a family robbed and murdered in that house..." and on and on and on, all around TWU's campus. Apparantly back in the late 70's and 80's before P.D. Chief Windham's weed and seed program was put in place the Poly area was a near war zone. The stories are amazing and although the murder's are not as bad, the theft and drug crime is still there today.

The University of Texas would not have been on the list if it were not for the players at the University of Texas

[gangrene]

A prostitute had her ------ cut off behind that building,..

Was she an actual "she" before that incident?

I know someone well who was carjacked, kidnapped, and nearly murdered after three guys grabbed him at gunpoint on the edge of the Baylor campus. After they took the 5 bucks out of his pocket, they drove him out in the country looking for a place to kill him. He jumped out of the car while they were doing 50-60 on a country road and ran away as they opened fire. One of them is dead and the other two in prison. Scary stuff.

--TxTech is in West Texas.... We hang first offenders.... no chance to repeat them... keeps the crime rate down.

Does a GREAT job of preventing recidivism!
