Common College Crimes & What You Need to Know
Common College Crimes & What You Need to Know
Dayton Criminal Defense Attorneys
When a young person who is attending a university is charged with a crime, there may be harsh penalties that are handed down both by the state and by the university.
Indeed, in addition to facing criminal penalties that can leave a student with a black mark on their permanent criminal record and result in mandatory community service, education classes, fines, and even jail or prison time, a student may also face repercussions from the university. In fact, even if criminal charges against the student are dropped or if the student is found innocent, a school may still choose to take disciplinary action against the student, including expulsion.
There is no question that disciplinary action against a student, criminal penalties, or both can have a severe effect on a young person’s life. These penalties may prevent a student from graduating, from gaining admittance to another school, and from securing a job in the future. This can be a shocking and scary reality for both the young person and their parents.
Common College Crimes
There are a number of crimes that are more likely to be committed by young people or are more common on college campuses. These crimes include but are not limited to:
- Underage drinking;
- Drinking and driving;
- Public intoxication;
- Drug use;
- Burglary;
- Motor vehicle theft; and
- Rape, sexual assault, and assault.
This list is not inclusive; it is, of course, possible for a young person to be charged with any type of crime related to their activity on campus or not.

The VanNoy attorneys successfully represented me when I felt lost in a frightening system. The VanNoy support staff were helpful and responsive as well, obviously caring that the case was handled professionally and quickly. I knew I made the correct choice for an attorney with the first meeting. Mr VanNoy thoughtfully guided me through an emotional process, and I feel blessed to have worked with him. Thank you.
