In September this year, 172 violent crimes were reported, twice as many as Ely and almost four times higher than Splott.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Cathays is the student hub of Cardiff University, with many students living on streets surrounding the campus. Taylor Allsop, a second year Psychology student, has made changes to their way of life in order to feel safe, setting their location on their phone so that people know where they\u2019re going.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Taylor said \u201cIt\u2019s scary. I\u2019m worried, are these students shouting at me? Or are these random guys following me home?\u201d. They explained that the anxiety of walking home at night is part of the university experience, adding that \u201cit is so common that it is normally accepted\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The police are working with the universities of Cardiff to promote their Safer Students program. The initiative reminds students of the safety measures that the police have put in place, including plain clothes officers, a night safety bus and specific training for bars and clubs on spiking prevention.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Amy Jackson, the Volunteer Manager at South Wales Victim Focus says that students must remain vigilant. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1600\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/cjsnews\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2022\/12\/IMG_2338-2-min-1-edited-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-30518\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/cjsnews\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2022\/12\/IMG_2338-2-min-1-edited-scaled.jpg 2560w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/cjsnews\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2022\/12\/IMG_2338-2-min-1-edited-300x188.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/cjsnews\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2022\/12\/IMG_2338-2-min-1-edited-1024x640.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/cjsnews\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2022\/12\/IMG_2338-2-min-1-edited-770x481.jpg 770w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/cjsnews\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2022\/12\/IMG_2338-2-min-1-edited-1536x960.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/cjsnews\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2022\/12\/IMG_2338-2-min-1-edited-2048x1280.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/cjsnews\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2022\/12\/IMG_2338-2-min-1-edited-293x183.jpg 293w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/cjsnews\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2022\/12\/IMG_2338-2-min-1-edited-1400x875.jpg 1400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px\" \/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1600\" src=\"https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/cjsnews\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2022\/12\/IMG_2338-2-min-1-edited-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-30518\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/cjsnews\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2022\/12\/IMG_2338-2-min-1-edited-scaled.jpg 2560w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/cjsnews\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2022\/12\/IMG_2338-2-min-1-edited-300x188.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/cjsnews\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2022\/12\/IMG_2338-2-min-1-edited-1024x640.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/cjsnews\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2022\/12\/IMG_2338-2-min-1-edited-770x481.jpg 770w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/cjsnews\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2022\/12\/IMG_2338-2-min-1-edited-1536x960.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/cjsnews\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2022\/12\/IMG_2338-2-min-1-edited-2048x1280.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/cjsnews\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2022\/12\/IMG_2338-2-min-1-edited-293x183.jpg 293w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/cjsnews\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2022\/12\/IMG_2338-2-min-1-edited-1400x875.jpg 1400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px\" \/><\/noscript><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">South Wales Victim Focus<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>She said \u201cWe are here to offer independent, confidential support\u201d, advising students to \u201cinvest in a personal alarm, tell somebody where you are, be familiar with the local area and don\u2019t go with anyone you are unfamiliar with\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>South Wales Police will be on the third floor of the Student\u2019s Union from 5pm \u2013 6:30pm.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Police are in Cardiff University\u2019s Student\u2019s Union this evening promoting an initiative to make student life safer. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":935,"featured_media":30516,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_exactmetrics_skip_tracking":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_active":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_note":"","_exactmetrics_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[21,118,119,555],"coauthors":[896],"class_list":["post-30296","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news","tag-cardiff","tag-cathays","tag-crime","tag-students"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.2 -
