Will volunteers be robbed at the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver?

Question

The 2010 Winter Olympics organization in Vancouver has been running an active recruitment campaign for volunteers to work at the 2010 Winter Olympics in this city. It has been making wide use of the media in different forms.

Volunteer positions at Olympic Games are considered desirable opportunities as far volunteer work is concerned.

Volunteers notoriously are often robbed and put in danger. Those asked to work on security frequently are the individuals who have their security taken from them, being put in danger themselves beyond what could normally and reasonably be expected from such a position.

Will volunteers deliberately be put in danger at this event?
