<p>@PG, as the OP was about sexual assaults on campus, I only listed those with relatively large ‘forcible rape’ numbers. If you look through the omitted schools their numbers are small in that category. IF you like, you could copy/paste and list and add to it to complete the list. </p>
<p>PG, it’s not about understanding in context; the fact that these crimes occur on college campus in such a significant number should be a huge concern for parents in and of itself. (the numbers may approach the downtown metro area numbers). What context do you want to find? Crimes don’t need context. they need to be stopped, particularly on college campuses.</p>
<p>One thing, which you may see as context, is that the two elite schools in Cambridge, MA (Harvard and MIT) are both ranked in top ten or twenty n the most dangerous college list nearly every year. It may be because of the high concentration of college students within a walking distance of those two campuses. Sexual crimes are a big concern to parents with prospective college age girls. Violent crimes and suicides should be a big concern for all college parents.</p>
