- Male college students were twice as likely to be victims of overall violence than female students (80 versus 43 per 1,000).
- White students had somewhat higher rates of violent victimization than blacks and higher rates than students of other races (65 versus 52 and 37 per 1,000 respectively).
- For females, nonstudents were over 1.5 times more likely than college students to be a victim of a violent crime (71 versus 43 per 1,000).
