-both. college students are fairly likely, in my experience, to leave their doors unlocked and have their stuff stolen. college-age females are also fairly likely targets for sexual assault. -again, both. sometimes students get in fights, do stupid shit, steal each other's stuff...but there are also other members of the community who see an opportunity to take advantage of the students' follies. -more of the latter, i suppose, but a bit of both. if you're committing a crime and you see an armed officer coming toward you, you're more likely to run away than if you saw an unarmed rentacop.
