Robbery on campus

The peak year for robbery reporting was 2022 with 652 incidents. An average of 341 institutions recorded at least one such incident each year across the reporting window. The single institution with the most reported robbery incidents in 2024 is University of California-Berkeley in Berkeley, CA with 17 incidents (3% of the national total). 5,248 of the 5,585 surveyed institutions (94%) recorded no robbery at all in 2024, so a zero is the ordinary case for this offence rather than a distinguishing result. At that rate a zero is very nearly the universal answer, so it cannot distinguish institutions at all; only a non-zero count is informative for this offence, and even one incident places a campus in a small minority.

Within criminal offenses reported in 2024, robbery is the 6th most-reported of 11 offences, at 1.9% of the group's 33,224 incidents. Reporting is widely distributed: the single highest-reporting institution accounts for 3% of the 2024 national total, so no one campus drives this figure. No campus accounts for more than 3% of the 2024 total, so the order below tracks institution size as much as anything else: these are raw incident counts, not per-student rates, and a large university can lead the table without being less safe than a small one.
