The list was compiled using FBI crime reports, according to the group.

"Using data from law enforcement and FBI crime reports, we compared 490 colleges (save for those with enrollment under 1,000 students and others for which a significant amount of data was unavailable)," the website says. "We took two variables into account: crime rate and police adequacy."
