A
forum for Princeton residents to express opinions about local
and national issues Question
of the Week: "Were
you concerned by the recent reports of violence in Princeton?"

"I
am concerned. My daughter walks home from school some afternoons,
so it has influenced the way that we have rethought that issue.
We have always thought that Princeton was a safe town to live
in. It does give me concern about where we allow her to go by
herself." Harriet Black, Mercer Street

"I
am concerned about the violence not so much about what
is happening now, but where this may be heading."
Matthew Freeman, Wiggins Street (Junior Firefighter, Mercer Engine
63)

"I
am concerned about violence, but I do not know whether the reporting
is blown out of proportion whether it's just the case of
mild mischief or if it's really indicative of true violent behavior."
Laura Boyd, Cherry Hill Road (owner of newly opened, The Café,
in the shopping center.) 
"I
am not concerned at all. I think that it is only a sporadic thing
that people are blowing this out of proportion by connecting
it with gangs that I don't think it is an issue at all
in Princeton." Bob James, Evelyn Place
