Campus Safety at Miami University Oxford

Every college that receives federal financial aid must publish its crime statistics each year under the Clery Act. These are the figures Miami University Oxford reported for 2024.

On-Campus Offenses

In Residence Halls
2.6

28
Domestic, Dating & Stalking

Read these numbers carefully. A Clery figure counts reports, not incidents. A university with active reporting channels, a large campus police force and a teaching hospital will record more offenses than one where the same events go unreported — so a higher count is not evidence of a more dangerous campus, and a low count is not evidence of a safe one. In 2024, 833 campuses with more than 1,000 students reported no offenses at all. Use these figures to ask a college questions, not to rank one against another.
