More than 23,000 students are enrolled at Washington State University, nearly doubling or more the enrollment of all other major universities and colleges aside from Western Washington University, 14,000, and the University of Washington, 39,000. In all fields of crime, WSU does not lead statistically. However, the university maintains a close relationship in frequency to the University of Washington, a school commonly referred to as Gotham.

There were no offenses of murder and robbery throughout the year at WSU.
