Topic Explanation

The topic i'm chosing for my paper is the lack of police enforcement on campus.  This topic is very important to me because as a student and a young woman I feel that my safety on campus should be valued as much as my education. Last year around Christmas time there were numerous Tiger Texts being sent out to students telling us about crimes that happened on campus.  It seemed like the only obvious solution to the problem would be to have more cops patrolling the school,but I have yet to see that happen.  When I do see cops on campus, they are almost always patrolling in their cars, and never walking on foot or riding bikes throughout the campus.  How can you possibly protect the campus if you don't even cover 75% of the campus.?  At nightime you would think that their would be policemen patrolling the campus on foot,but I have yet to see one.  I have heard stories from other students telling me that they've been robbed,assulted, or have felt threatened while on campus and no one was there to help them.  Tuition is way too high for students to have to worry about something like feeling safe on campus.  I know that this is not a problem that just concerns me, there are many other students who feel something has to be done.  My topic is rhetorical in the sense that if my paper were to get in the hands of the right person, changes could be made.  My topic is also rhetorical in the sense that it would effect many people and a large number of people support the change I feel should be made.  I am excited to research this topic because it has been bothering me for quite some time now. I hope that my efforts won't go unoticed.
