PEORIA, Ill. – As if assaulted by a torn bag of skittles,
the interactive crime map of Peoria is littered with multi-colored dots, each
of them signifying another statistical loss for law enforcement officials.
Amongst the dots, surrounded by the crime, is a relatively
unblemished territory not far from the top of the main street hill. Bradley
University’s campus, along with the area extending 500 feet in all directions, seems
to be an oasis of safety.
