Law Street Media recently published its campus crime rate data for 2015, which ranked hundreds of national colleges based on their campus' crimes. Law Street Media says about its rankings:
Campuses are ranked according to their average violent crime rate per 1,000 enrolled students using statistics from a three-year period (2011, 2012, 2013). Violent crimes include: murder and non-negligent manslaughter, negligent manslaughter, forcible rape, robbery, and aggravated assault. Enrollment numbers are based on the Fall 2013 count, which is also provided by the Office of Postsecondary Education. The number of violent crimes are totaled, converted to a rate per 1,000 enrolled students, and then divided by three to yield the average violent crime rate between 2011 and 2013. Only colleges offering four-year degrees are ranked.
While some nonviolent crimes are tracked by institutions according to the Clery Act, they are not factored into Law Street's rankings. Data for crimes that occurred on campus as well as select non-campus buildings were combined to provide the most accurate statistics for each school.
Here are the top 30 large and mid-size colleges in Illinois with the highest violent crime rates.
