Princeton's report shows a fivefold increase in alcohol violations. Drug abuse offenses climbed 45 percent. There was also an increase in aggravated assault and sex offenses, from 12 in 2006 to 14 in 2007.

One factor may be Princeton's new initiative to curb high-risk drinking on campus, which included more foot patrols in and around residence halls last year.
