So where in the heck is the local Police Department?

Hell, the city has to be making money off of the Campus and students!

Actually, I knew that New Haven itself is pretty sketchy, but I thought the campus was a different story -- which isn't uncommon.

Edited to add: Considerably more information about the Yale student -- from Colorado -- who was arrested is in a July 19 article in the Yale Daily News:

(the "Calhoun College" reference is to one of the large dorms that Yale calls colleges)

I think you're right; the campus is an oasis of calm (and privilege) compared to much of the city. Not unusual; to some degree things are like that in Cambridge, Morningside Heights (Columbia), and at Penn, too.
