Mother's concerns about Cal

<p>Hey, she asked for crime statistics, so I think she deserves to have them. Please don’t tell me that you’re scared of the facts. </p>

<p>Well, I don’t know if that claim means much. After all, you could say that about plenty of other things. The average American won’t get cancer, but that hardly means that cancer is not a problem in the country.</p>

<p>Now, THIS statement I can agree with. Berkeley is a city, and you have to have some common sense street-smartness to avoid trouble in any city. But that hardly menas that safety is “not an issue” or that there is “nothing to worry about”. It’s a city. Safety is an issue in any city in the country.</p>
