Odyssey's Crime Rate Up
Study Shows
Increase in Vandalism
 Odyssey's crime rate is the
highest it has ever been, according to the Campbell College Sociology Club.
According to the Club's findings in a report released today, "Never in
Odyssey's history has the crime rate been as high as it was this year,
especially in the area of vandalism."
Outgoing Mayor Bill Jenkins
attributes the statistic to growth in and around the town. "This happens to
all cities that experience growth. It's really nothing to worry about," he
said.
The Sociology Club's findings
were compiled from incidents reported to the Odyssey Police between October
first of the previous year to October first of last year, with seasonal
adjustments and a 5 percent curve for error.
The study will be published in
its entirety in tomorrow's edition.
