"We don' t know," says C larinda Raymond, co-director of the Campus Violence Prevention Center at T owson State University in Maryland. "We don't know if campus violence is increasing 9r not because statistics are not uniformly well kept" Since the 1986 rape and murder of 19-year-old Jeanne Ann Clery in her Lehigh University dorm room, the popular picrure of colleges as peaceful havens for post-teens away from hom•! has dis olved in to a much cloudier image. Certainly, crime on college campuses existed years and years before Clery was killed, but in the wake of the murder Clery's parents formed an organ ization that successful\y lobbied Congress for passage of what is now called the Crime Awareness and Campus Security Act. The act requires al\ campus law enforcement agencies to compile individual campus crime statistics under the FBI's Uniform Crime Reporting system, which provides national crime statistics to the public annually. The 1991-1992 academic year was the first in which schools nationwide were forced to collect the data under the security act. The first year for public release of the compiled information regulated by the Deparunent of Education is the current school year, 1992-1993. |
