Stott: Need a plan to address violence

Violence in DeKalb, particularly around the Northern Illinois University campus, is happening with increased frequency.

I lived near campus for five years and have attended NIU for nearly six. I’ve witnessed a sort of transformation in the culture at NIU. On the weekends, students who once worried only about the threat of a serious hangover now may think twice about going out in certain areas.

It’s time for a cohesive, visible initiative to address this problem.
