************* I only reported that of every 1,000,000 college students, one will be killed on-campus every year, on average (for a total of about 15 deaths/yr, since there are about 15 mil college students in the USA). That fact does not have anything to do with other crimes of violence stats, nor is it relevant whether those students live on campus or not, they would be just as dead. > For example, 65 of every 100,000 college students are victims of > murder, rape, robbery or aggravated assault each year.
