Crime Statistics

The University of Northern Iowa believes strongly in allowing the community members to make informed decisions about their personal safety. One element is providing the statistical information about crime. Crime statistics take a variety of forms to tell the story of how crime occurs in a community. UNI has placed statistics based on the Federal Campus Crime Report as the basis of our statistics available to the public. The federally mandated Campus Crime Report allows students to roughly compare between institutions.

Annually, the campus crime statistics and policies are distributed in the "College Life: Issues and Answers" made available to all potential students, faculty and staff by the Office of Associate Vice President for Educational and Student Services, 200 Gilchrist Hall, University of Northern Iowa, Cedar Falls, Iowa 50614-0010.

Uniform Crime Report

The Uniform Crime Report is a universal reporting and classification system administered by the US Department of Justice. UCR uses a common classification system to record incidents.
