Crime Prevention Tip: There are three things a thief needs in order to be successful, desire, ability and the opportunity. As we all are aware of, there is nothing we can do to do diminish a thief’s desire or ability to commit a crime. What we all can do if reduce or eliminate the opportunity for that thief to commit a crime. Quick reporting reinforces the thief’s knowledge that he will have a hard time committing a crime at this location since everyone is watching. To the staff members at the Law School, good job in keeping a watchful eye out. W.C. HOGG, #4 East Mall Possession of Marijuana: A UT student, riding a bicycle, passed two UT Police Officers walking.
