Crime Statistics Around Shelters

This quote is so true... I've never felt intimidated by a homeless person, and there's a lot of them in Seattle.

Homeless people may be goofy, but they are not to be feared any more than any other person. I'll never forget when a police District Commander in Nashville presented a fact about homeless people. The crime rates around homeless shelters, where homeless people spend most of their time, is actually lower than in other parts of the city.
