One In 29 Students Is A CriminalBy Bevan Schneck College students are likely sitting in class with criminals, according to a recent study. MyBackgroundCheck.com, a supplier of background checks for students and faculty, found that one out of every 29 college students has a previous criminal record. The nationwide study of 13,859 students consisted of 125 universities, career colleges, nursing schools and other educational institutions. Only criminal convictions were included in the results, and juvenile records were excluded. According to the study, 60 percent of college students have been convicted of driving violations. The next highest conviction rate was that of disorderly conduct - another misdemeanor - at 9.5 percent. Theft, drug possession, sexual abuse and assault made up the middle of the pack. The felonies of fraud and child molestation were revealed as the lowest for college students - at 2.7 and 2.4 percent, respectively. |
