Athens-Clarke County can’t avoid robberies.
Residents and University of Georgia students reported 97 armed robberies between August 2012 and April 2014.
Another 89 ACC residents and UGA students reported experiencing a strong-armed robbery.
In total, criminals committed 236 robberies in Athens between 2012 and 2014, according to data compiled by The Red & Black.

“There are so many young people [in Athens] who are just out of high school and are naïve, and people know how to prey on them,” White said. “It’s like, almost a business.”
Clark said a few criminals in the Classic City tend to keep that business running.
