In 2012, law enforcement made an estimated total of 12,196,959 arrests nationwide. Among those arrests were 29,800 criminal incidents involving college students. College often feels like a different plane of existence because the education system and dormitory housing disguises the reality of colleges being places of business. Therefore, when a young college student performs a criminal act such as getting into a fight or drinking underage, they're often surprised when the result is an arrest rather than a visit to the dean's office as the case would often be in high school.
