NEW YORK - One person carrying a rifle in a bag was arrested on the St. John's Queens campus Wednesday afternoon, police said. The man appeared to have a President Bush mask, according to preliminary information from law enforcement officials.
Police sources said the man is of Guyanese descent and is apparently a student.
Authorities asked students and faculty across the campus to stay indoors. There was a large police presence on the campus. Areas near the site of the man's apprehension have been locked down.

I'm not sure I get your point.
Crime happens everywhere - even the cheesiest suburb has murders, and rural areas often have their own drug issues . . . but there's really no way to get around the fact that there are more crime reports in "bad" areas than "good", and many colleges (including USC and JHU, from the other thread) are not in good areas, by necessity.
Now, if you want to argue that crime rates in "bad" areas are due to increased police presence, etc. then feel free to argue that - but that's not at all what you're saying, and I'm not sure anyone here is certified enough to have that chicken-and-egg standoff.
