What Have We Learned About the Clery Act?
Remember that fostering a culture of reporting is vital for maintaining a safe campus environment. By reporting Clery Act crimes, we can promote awareness, support victims, enhance accountability, strengthen prevention efforts, and ensure compliance.
Promoting Awareness and Support for Victims of Clery Act Crimes
By reporting Clery Act crimes, we promote awareness, support victims, hold individuals accountable, strengthen prevention efforts, and ensure compliance. Every member of the community plays a vital role in creating a safe campus. We appreciate the efforts and dedication of Campus Security Authorities to reporting and supporting the well-being of the campus community.
Imagine you're a professor who is also a CSA. As a student is explaining why her assignment isn't complete, she discloses a Clery Act crime to you.
After you explain that you will have to file a report, the student says she would like it to be anonymous. Choose the best information to include in the report to make sure it is anonymous.
A. I didn't finish the essay that was due today because of an incident with my friend Alyssa. B. She was at a party at the Kappa Omicron frat house, where her boyfriend lives. C. He sexually assaulted her, and she called me to come get her and take her to the ER.
If you chose option C, you’re correct. Elements of statement A and B both have details that will need to be anonymized. If the student wants to keep her report anonymous, it's a good idea to keep the names of everyone involved out of the report, and since the victim's boyfriend lives at the fraternity house, it's a good idea to anonymize this information too. The fact that the perpetrator was the victim's boyfriend should be included because that indicates that this crime isn't just sexual assault. It is also an instance of relationship violence.
Clery Act Geographic Categories
The Clery Act classifies crimes into three geographic categories. Understanding these categories is crucial for accurately reporting and complying with the Clery Act requirements. They include:
Here are some myths to look out for:
- -
On-campus property controlled by the institution that's within the security jurisdiction.
- -
Non-Campus Buildings outside the security jurisdiction that are used for educational purposes or related activities.
- -
Public Property that is immediately adjacent to and accessible from the campus.
