Continued from Pagel
Mike Mansfield, University of
Colorado school and community
representative, said the Boulder
City Council created a commercial
redevelopment program to im
prove the look and state of “The
Hill” in 1997 that renovated side
walks and improved lighting
along the streets.
After a student riot in 1997, the
campus and community worked
together to improve police and
student relations.
“We’re trying to get students to
voice what problems they have
with police,” Mansfield said.
Part of that effort created a po
lice review board and a monthly
community forum called “Com
munity Speakout.”
Mansfield said the review board
hasn’t had to take any action yet,
but the monthly meetings with the
community have helped ease ten
sions between students and police.
“In the wake of the riots, stu
dents really didn’t feel like police
were treating them fairly,” he said.
Now police arrive at parties
joined by a student representative
and a get-to-the-beer mental ity.
‘‘[The policy is] going after the
keg instead of going after the revel
ers,” Mansfield said.
Crime, student tension and con
frontations with police are all
down in Boulder, Mansfield said.
In Columbus, Ohio, the prob
lem area is not three or four city
blocks, but 300 city blocks.
Steve Sterrett, Columbus Police
Department community relations
director, said the campus neigh
borhood is a diverse place.
“It’s a mixture of neighbor
hoods,” he said. “There are old
neighborhoods built around the
turn of the century. There are low
income neighborhoods. There are
minority neighborhoods. There
are middle-class neighborhoods.”
Abundant graffiti, now gone,
was a factor in the area’s decline
because it attracted criminal ele
ments, Sterrett said.
Police have begun increased pa
trols in the campus neighborhood
during winter breaks to curb bur
glaries. And while crime is not
dropping, Sterrett said he is opti
mistic about the future because
the crime rate did not increase.
“There’s a sense that the neigh
borhood is safer,” Sterrett said.
At the University of California
at Berkeley, substandard housing
and loud parties get cleaned out
by the Specialized Multi-Agency
Response Team (SMART).
In 1996, the City of Berkeley
contacted Oakland Police Sgt.
Tom Hogenmillertoaskadviceon
anti-crime strategies. SMART was
created soon after based on Oak
land policing techniques.
Hogenmiller said SMART uses
neighbors to sue property owners
over “quality of life issues.”
Quality of life is infringed
upon, according to a Berkeley city
law, when neighbors have to put
up with excessive noise, traffic,
crowds or public drunkenness.
SMART uses the law to drive out
problem tenants and force owners
of substandard property to repair
their apartments and houses.
There is no SMART equivalent
in Eugene. Neither is there a
“Community Speakout” for stu
dents and police to work out
problems between them.
But the city has taken some
steps similar to what other col
leges have done. It built a public
safety station in the West Univer
sity Neighborhood in 1996. The
city also passed a law that year
banning dogs and skateboards on
13th Avenue.
After studying campuses , Lee
said he is now focusing more on
Eugene than other campus com
munities because college campus
es differ from place to place. He
said every community has its
own problems arising from differ
ent economic conditions, local ge
ography and local cultures.
Does the future look scary?
