Though much of University of Oregon remains at least partially operational over winter break, the uncharacteristically low number of crimes reported on the UOPD’s crime log for the last two weeks suggests that less students on campus equals less crime on campus.
Like finals week, the numbers this week hovered at around a dozen. With very few students left on campus to steal property from, not a single report of theft was made on the crime log from Dec. 13 to 18. Instead, the top crime for the five-day period was trespassing , which is almost always the result of individuals breaking police orders to stay off university property.
Besides trespassing, graffiti, drug violations, arrest warrants and the ever-so-vague “criminal mischief,” made up the rest of the 12 incidents reported on the log.
Take a look at the map below to see the geographic distribution of the incidents the UOPD responded to.
