This is just restating the assumption: that police mostly solve or prevent violent crime, and violent crime is the reason communities have police. I don't think this is overall true. Again, only ~5% of policing time is spent on violent crime. Again, is there that much more violent crime on college campuses? That would be widely known if it were true, I think, but maybe it is and I'm just ignorant. > I know something of Chicago neighborhoods where University of Chicago and University of Illinois-Chicago have private police. IDK what you're trying to say here. I spent my teen years in a group home in woodlawn on the border with hyde park. My associations are certainly out of date but I am also familiar with the dynamics of this specific area in a sense. Do you want to clarify?
