The campus crime statistics published on StateUniversity.com are taken from crime reports submitted by college/university law enforcement between January 1 and December 31, 2010. College safety ratings based on campus crime can be a useful tool in evaluating a college or university; however, these safety ratings only provide part of the picture. Before making a college decision based on campus crime reports, students are advised to consider other factors, such as overall crime in the neighboring community. Local organizations and law enforcement may be able to provide such additional information.
