Crime Statistics

The Jeanne Clery Disclosure of Campus Security Policy and Campus Crime Statistics Act is a federal law that requires colleges and universities to annually disclose campus crime and certain security policies.  The crime statistics are compiled using reports made to campus security authorities.  At Occidental, these authorities include: Campus Safety, deans, coaches, Residence Education staff, advisors to the student clubs and organizations and other campus officials.  Professionals and pastoral counselors are excluded from this requirement; but are encouraged to provide confidential information for inclusion in the campus crime statistics collection.  Statistics included reported crimes that have occurred at sorority and fraternity houses in the neighborhood. A copy of the crime statistics is filed with the U.S. Department of Education and is available at their web site: http://ope.ed.gov/security.
