Top 30 Illinois Colleges with the Highest Violent Crime Rates

Law Street Media recently published its campus crime rate data for 2015, which ranked hundreds of national colleges based on the average violent crime rate at each school.

From Law Street Media on its methodology:

Campuses are ranked according to their average violent crime rate per 1,000 enrolled students using statistics from a three-year period (2011, 2012, 2013). Violent crimes include: murder and non-negligent manslaughter, negligent manslaughter, forcible rape, robbery, and aggravated assault. Enrollment numbers are based on the Fall 2013 count, which is also provided by the Office of Postsecondary Education. The number of violent crimes are totaled, converted to a rate per 1,000 enrolled students, and then divided by three to yield the average violent crime rate between 2011 and 2013. Only colleges offering four-year degrees are ranked.

Here are the colleges in Illinois with the highest average violent crime rates at both large and mid-sized schools.
