I was about to say wooo KCL isn't on the list, then I see we're number 2 on your list. It's a fix I tell ya.

[DarkWhite]

Main problem with this table is probably how the Police classify crimes. I wouldn't put it past forces to classify a number of what we would call "violent crime" as "anti-social behaviour". Maybe I'm just being cynical though.

With the exception of Kingston and Roehampton, every London university fares worse in the tables.

Maybe this can help dispel the "Shottingham" myth though.

Haven't renumbered, but the full table would be:

I'm quite pleased to see that bedfordshire is so low down. I'm guessing that the bedford campus (other campus is Luton) is probably bringing the overall average down slightly but I still thought it would be much higher! And Luton which I think is the bigger of the two campuses is just outside London. Some people actually consider it to be IN London because the airport is called London Luton. Whenever I say that I'll be studying in Luton most people seem to think it's a really dangerous place.. To be honest I found Portsmouth and Southampton Solent both seemed to have dodgier surroundings when I went to the open days so I'm glad that this seems to reflect that.

Why would it be that surprising? It's not like levels of violent crime are particularly high in Sunderland anyway and Oxford, for all its pretty spires, Oxford is historically a working class city like Sunderland. Some of its suburbs, including inner ones, are fairly deprived.

I don't mean to make it out to be a dump but, like all cities, it has its problems and areas of high crime.

Would have been good if they could have included Scottish unis, would certainly give a more accurate overview.

Scottish forces record crime differently and Scotland has a different legal system.

[ultimate mashup]

I'm surprised to see that the University of Nottingham ranks much higher than Trent University on this crime list. I would have thought Trent would be higher given that it's actually in Central Nottingham. Nottingham Uni's right out on the outskirsts with it's own secluded campus.

I'm quite pleased to see that bedfordshire is so low down. I'm guessing that the bedford campus (other campus is Luton) is probably bringing the overall average down slightly but I still thought it would be much higher! And Luton which I think is the bigger of the two campuses is just outside London. Some people actually consider it to be IN London because the airport is called London Luton. Whenever I say that I'll be studying in Luton most people seem to think it's a really dangerous place.. To be honest I found Portsmouth and Southampton Solent both seemed to have dodgier surroundings when I went to the open days so I'm glad that this seems to reflect that.

Pompey is def dodgey. Stabbings, taxi driver rapists, muggings, blah blah. Spose that is like any working class city though.

Is there really such a thing as a working class city in this country? Each place has it's good and bad areas. I'm sure even Portsmouth has expensive middle class streets. London has the most crime but you can't call London a working class city.

Not trying to promote my soon to be uni, but Aberdeen has been rated the safest student city either this year or last year

Very much so. Fratton, Southsea, Eastney and Milton are mostly terrace housing full of working class people. The only expensive bit of Portsmouth is Gunwharf and Old Portsmouth which are both absolutely tiny. The only people that live in Gunwharf are not from Portsmouth, mostly foreign students (Russians mainly).

And Portsmouth is one of the, if not the, cheapest place to live on the south coast.

Scottish forces record crime differently and Scotland has a different legal system.

I'm aware

[nulli tertius]

Some of the figures look rather dodgy. The data is supposed to record crime rates per thousand in wards within three miles of the main campus.

Wrexham at 10
Northampton at 14
Norwich at 33
Bournemouth at 35
Lincoln at 36
Worcester at 38
Carlisle at 42



Sheffield at 45 and 46
Liverpool at 52 and 58 (but no John Moores)
Newcastle at 65 and 67
