Surprised? Not exactly. But you have to consider that Yale, which landed in national headlines after the grisly murder of grad student Annie Le, is ranked #23—that is, slightly less dangerous than dear old Cambridge. The future seems bleak...
...turns out that since the passage of the Clery Act in 1986, schools are required to report annually to the U.S. Department of Education crimes on and near campus—including murder, assault, sexual offenses and robberies. The Daily Beast, using the data from the two most recent years, analyzed more than 4,000 schools, weighing more than 50 different criteria for crime. The methodology seems legit.

Up until the time police took him into custody, they were very careful to call Clark only a "person of interest." They obtained a warrant to search Clark's home and have taken DNA samples from his hair, saliva and fingernails. He was photographed being led in handcuffs into the back of a police car.
