A recent finding from Ryerson student and Nectarine journalist, Adam Wilson, has revealed that crimes on Ryerson University’s campus have gone up by 86.6% since the opening of Toronto’s first safe injection site directly beside the campus on August 21st, 2017.
Wilson’s article and finding affirm what many students have felt but have been hesitant to mention publicly regarding this part of campus: it is becoming more dangerous, and you probably want to circumvent this area on your way to class in the early morning, and at night or avoid being on campus at night altogether.
As a student at Ryerson, though I have not been directly affected by the increase in criminal activity, I have enough friends to personally know many who have experienced attempted muggings (sometimes by entire groups), theft, and being propositioned for the sale of drugs. And though Ryerson Security is constantly patrolling the area, the problem is quickly getting out of hand.
