Offenses Known to Law Enforcement
by State by University and College, 2007
The FBI collects these data through the Uniform Crime Reporting (UCR)
Program.
General comment
This table provides the volume of violent crime (murder and nonnegligent
manslaughter, forcible rape, robbery, and aggravated assault) and property
crime (burglary, larceny-theft, and motor vehicle theft) as reported by
those individual university/college law enforcement agencies (listed alphabetically
by state) that contributed data to the UCR Program.
Caution against ranking
Readers should take into consideration relevant factors in addition to
the areas’ crime statistics when making any valid comparisons of crime
among different locales. Variables
Affecting Crime provides more details concerning the proper use of
UCR statistics.
Methodology
- The data used in creating this table were from all university/college
law enforcement agencies submitting 12 months of complete offense data
for 2007.
- The FBI does not publish arson data unless it receives data from either
the agency or the state for all 12 months of the calendar year.
- The student enrollment figures provided by the U.S. Department of Education
are for 2006, the most recent available. They include full- and part-time
students.
- When the FBI determines that an agency’s data collection methodology
does not comply with national UCR guidelines, the figure for that agency’s
offense will not be included in the table, and the discrepancy will be
explained in a footnote.
