Clery Report shows decrease in crimes

Clery Report shows decrease in crimes: "Crime on campus, whether it be theft or homicide, is a reality that colleges and universities have to be aware of and prepared for. Looking at the recently issued Clery Report, it appears that Missouri Western has a handle on crime.

The Clery Report is a yearly report disclosing crime statistics and information about college and universities for the prior three years. The report came out of the Jeanne Clery Disclosure of Campus Security Policy and Campus Crime Statistics Act, named after a 19-year-old student from Pennsylvania who was raped and murdered in a campus residence hall in 1986. Since 1990, all colleges and universities participating in federal financial aid programs are required to issue the report.

According to this year’s Clery Report, Western had a total of 109 crimes from 2006-2008, plus 103 arrests and 171 referrals for liquor law, drug law and weapons law violations. Of those crimes, the most frequent was burglary, a total of 94. Other crimes committed include seven motor vehicle thefts, four aggravated assaults, one robbery and two non-forcible sexual offenses."
