  risky areas in Schenectady
by davecallahan
 
 

Much of Schenectady shows "low risk" to "very low risk" on the crime statistics charts. But three contiguous areas (zipcodes 12305, 12307, 12308) have crime data that is twice as risky for Rape, Robbery and Burglary as an average city in New Yok State. (see the attached map)
There are over 100 registered sex offenders in the area.

If you are going to be in the area of the zipcodes mentioned above, then you should use high caution to protect yourself from becoming a crime statistic. If you don't have to spend time at night in those areas then be all means don't. If you do have to be in the affected areas then be sure to lock car doors and motel doors and use the peep hole to check visitors. Put valuables in a secured place (locked trunk of the car or motel safe). Do not go out alone at night.
