Crime against college students versus others of the same age


There are several interesting points here. Serious violent crime against non-college students is 50 percent higher than for college students, and the relative relationship is true across the board -- all violent crimes against non-college students are higher than for college students. College males students are raped at a much higher rate relative to female students compared to the same ratio of non-college students (a 1 to 4 ratio for college students versus a 1 to 16 ratio for non-college students). If it is relatlvely more embarrassing for men to report rapes, the rapes against men might be significantly underreported. Other and Hispanic non-students have a much lower violent crime rate committed against them then other non-students.
