Student crime: Violence, vandalism, car thefts on the rise at some universities
Certain crimes – including violence and vandalism – appear to be rising at some New Zealand universities.
In 2013, 23 violent incidents were reported at the University of Otago. Five years later, there were 72 in a 12-month period.
Willful damage incidents also increased during that period from 69 to 104. The university said the increase coincided with the installation of a new CCTV system.
