That’s the finding of a study by criminologists at several universities: “Although the total reduction in homicide is roughly equal across Black and white victims, the decline in homicide is twice as large for Black victims in per capita terms,” the team said.

According to the source, students who live in the area of Pembroke Avenue, a short walk from the campus, heard about the plans among non-students, calling it a “riot.” Some students remained in their dorms in…
