Why the ‘Most Dangerous College Campuses’ List Is Dangerous and Misleading

Once again, another “Most Dangerous College Campuses in America” list has just been published. This time by a Virginia-based personal injury law firm, the Parrish Law Firm. It’s been 12 years since I first wrote Publishing the ‘25 Most Dangerous Colleges in America’ List is Irresponsible. In that article, I explained that lists like these that solely rely on reported crime data threaten to reverse the progress made by victim advocates and organizations like the Clery Center that have been working diligently to encourage colleges to report crime.
