Crime on Campus

CRIME ON CAMPUS April 16th marked the fifth anniversary of the shooting massacre at Virginia Tech, where 32 students and faculty were killed and another 17 wounded, before the gunman took his own life. While shootings and other serious crimes on college campuses take place more often than we'd like, officials believe that by understanding and learning from the past, we can better protect ourselves in the future. AN OVERVIEW In 2010, the United States Secret Service, Department of Education and FBI released a report that focused on targeted violence at institutions of higher education. Here are some of the report's findings: Number of directed assaults by decade 59.5% 23.9% 11.8% 3.3% 1.5% 1900s - 1920s 1930s - 1940s 1950s - 1960s 1970s - 1980s 1990s - 2000s Where these incidents took place Dom Room or 13.8% Hallway(s)/Stairwell(s)/ Restroom(s) 9.4% Apartment 10.1% 3.8% Student Services Locales/ 2 Office(s) 30,2% Cafeteria 4.4% 12.6% Multiple Locales within 8 the Same Building 3 Instructional Area 6.3% 5 9.4% Non-specific/Other/ 4 Undetermined 9 Multiple Facilities/Buildings 5 Common Area 54% 21% 10% 5% 10% knifes/bladed weapons strang- blunt object, firebomb/ ulation incendiary/arson, explo- sives, poison, vehicle, physical assault firearms combination of methods MOST DANGEROUS CAMPUSES TOP 5 In 2010, The Daily Beast ranked the 5 most dangerous colleges.
