Methodology
This report presents data from the Bureau of Justice
Statistics (BJS) 2011-12 Survey of Campus Law Enforcement
Agencies. In preparation for the survey, a universe list
of 4-year and 2-year campuses was compiled using the
U.S. Department of Educations Integrated Postsecondary
Education Data System (IPEDS).
The survey focused primarily on agencies serving 4-year
universities and colleges with a fall headcount enrollment
of 2,500 or more (appendix table 1). In addition, 2-year
institutions with 2,500 or more students and a sample
of 4-year institutions with 1,000 to 2,499 students were
surveyed. These campuses are covered in a separate report.
Schools were classified according to the level of the highest
proportion of degrees awarded.
The survey excluded
for-profit institutions
