While the report does not include statistics for crimes committed on University property, it does include the four Cambridge neighborhoods that surround Harvard.

The Mid-Cambridge neighborhood includes the area around Harvard Yard, including parts of Mt. Auburn streets and Mass. Ave. and extends to Prospect Street.

The CPD report notes that street robberies are declining in the neighborhood, and "judicious use of directed patrols to curtail larceny from motor vehicles" has contributed to a significant decrease in car thefts.

The Riverside neighborhood includes all of Harvard's undergraduate houses along Memorial Drive.

Drug arrests and street robbery all saw increases in the first nine months of 1997 in that area, although car theft was down nearly 18 percent, the report shows.

The West Cambridge neighborhood includes much of Harvard Square, and saw a 225 percent increase in street robbery for the first nine months of 1997.

"The only trend to be identified is the temporal concentration of between 11:00 p.m. and 1:00 a.m. on weekend nights," the report notes.

The Peabody neighborhood including the Quad and parts of Radcliffe, saw a rising rates of street robberies in 1997 over a similar period in 1996, although drug arrests and auto thefts were down.
