For this report, a composite variable of total violent crime was constructed from the four crime categories required by the Act. Thus, all references in this report to violent crime should be interpreted to mean murder, forcible sex offenses, robbery, and aggravated assault.
2/Also includes those institutions that only keep combined statistics for forcible and nonforcible sex offenses.
3/Nonforcible sex offenses are defined by the Federal Bureau of Investigation as statutory rape and incest. However, some institutions also include crimes such as public lewdness and indecent exposure or follow definitions used in state statutes.
4/Property crimes are defined by the Federal Bureau of Investigation as burglary, larceny-theft, and motor vehicle theft (Uniform Crime Reports for the United States 1994. Federal Bureau of Investigation, U.S. Department of Justice. 1995. Washington, DC.). The Campus Security Act requires institutions to report statistics for burglary and motor vehicle theft, but not for larceny-theft. For this report, a composite variable of total property crime was constructed from the two crime categories required by the Act. Thus, all references in this report to property crime should be interpreted to mean burglary and motor vehicle theft.
5/Data are for postsecondary education institutions in the 50 states, the District of Columbia, and Puerto Rico that participate in federal Title IV financial aid programs.
6/Analyses by metropolitan status exclude institutions in Puerto Rico, since the Bureau of the Census does not assign locale codes for Puerto Rico.
NOTE: A standard error of 0.0 appears if no institution the sample gave the indicated response.

--Estimate of standard error is not derived because it is based on a statistic estimated at 100 percent.
1/Data presented in all tables are weighted to produce national estimates. The sample was selected with probabilities proportionate to the square root of full-time equivalent enrollment. Institutions with larger full-time equivalent enrollments have higher probabilities of inclusion and lower weights. The weighted numbers of institutions have been rounded to the nearest 10.
