I don’t know if this is accurate (though the crime rates are documented) but here is a breakdown of violent crime rates for some ivy’s and risk adjustments.</p>

<p>Byerly, when you use a fiction novel to flame an argument on the yale board, we will not take it well - especially when it comes from an old harvard cronie like you. You are very insulting to Yale and to Yalies through innuendo and indirect statements and your feigning to “never discouraged anybody from applying to Yale” is fallacy. Since you graduated Harvard in the Eisenhower era, much has changed at both institutions, and you have obviously only kept abreast with admission statistics (which I admit you know really well).</p>

<p>I live in New Haven. It is safe. I walk around on the streets at night alone. I’ve never been murdered. You have to take into account that New Haven is much larger than just the Yale campus. The area in which most Yale students spend their time is downtown New Haven and the nicer areas, not the various ghettos and poorer areas surrounding it. And New Haven people are not ‘predatory’ towards Yale students. Most of them embrace the institution. When statistics for crime in New Haven are complied, it is for the entire city, not just the Yale campus and areas through which students are most likely to travel. New Haven is safe, stop arguing.</p>
