[originaltext] POLICE in the UK have launched a stop and search program arou

POLICE in the UK have launched a stop and search program around three Manchester universities this autumn in a bid to reduce the number of crimes against students. Since recently there have been more criminal activities happening on campus than ever before, universities have become more concerned. The new program covers the campuses of Manchester and Manchester Metropolitan Universities and the Manchester Institute of Science and Technology. A great many uniformed police officers have been deployed around these areas to keep order. They are being allowed to stop and search anyone without grounds of suspicion around the campuses. The plans will be in force for the first three weeks of every term. A police spokesman said that it was very important for students to be aware of the increased risks of crime directed at them. The policy was welcomed by many at the beginning of this term, when thousands of new students descended on the city. Over 62,000 violent crimes were recorded last year by the police in Greater Manchester area, which covers 500 square miles, that is 1280 square kilometers, and has a population of 2.58 million. Dan Sims, 21, a UK student who is majoring in English language and literature, was definitely in favor of the scheme. "Manchester has such a high crime rate and anything to reduce this would be beneficial to and welcomed by both students and the whole area in general." Sims said.
