College and university campus crime data is available from two major sources, the U.S. Department of Education which under the "Jeanne Clery Act" collects statistics from more than 6,000 schools, and the FBI's Uniform Crime Reporting program which includes data for about 400 schools. The most recent statistics from each government agency are available from this page. Due to differences in reporting standards statistics reported under one program may not match those reported in the other.
