Jeanne Clery Campus Security
Policy & Crime Statistics
Disclosure Act
What you need to know if you are
a Campus Security Authority
at UC Santa Barbara
Clery Act? What’s That?


Jeanne Clery was raped and murdered in her
dorm room at Lehigh University in 1986. Her
killer was another student. Her parents
believe she would have been more cautious or
made a different school choice if she had
known about other violent crimes at Lehigh.
Congress agreed: the Clery Act, first enacted
in 1990 and amended in 1998 and 2008,
requires higher education institutions to report
crime statistics to current & prospective
students & employees.
But what does it have to do
with me?



Many crimes and incidents, especially
sexual assaults, are not reported to police.
To ensure that students know about
dangers on their campuses, the Clery Act
requires institutions to gather and publish
data from four kinds of Campus Security
Authorities (CSAs).
That’s where you come in.
What makes me a Campus
Security Authority?

Four categories
- Campus Police or Security Department
- Those responsible for campus security but not a
police or security department
- People/offices designated as Campus Security
Authorities
- “Officials with significant responsibility for student
and campus activities”


Significant responsibility for
student and campus activities


Focus on function, not title
- officials with significant responsibility
for student and campus activities
- regular contact with students
- have authority & duty to take action or
respond to particular issues on behalf of
UCSB
Focus on student activities, not faculty and
staff
Significant responsibility for
student and campus activities


Examples:
- Dean of Students
- Student Activities coordinators
- Student Housing staff
- Judicial Affairs officers
- Athletic Director & team coaches
- Faculty Advisor to student group
This category of CSA is defined broadly to ensure
complete coverage and thorough reporting of
crimes.
Significant responsibility for
student and campus activities

Some examples of those NOT included:
- Individual faculty who are not
advisors to student groups
- Individual campus health center
physicians
- Clerical & dinning commons staff
Significant responsibility for
student and campus activities
BUT YOU DO NOT HAVE TO REPORT IF
 You are a licensed mental health counselor
or a pastoral counselor (employed by a
religious organization to provide
confidential counseling) AND
 You are working within the scope of your
license or religious assignment
Confidential reporting
option:

UCSB encourages professional and pastoral
counselors, although not required to report
crimes, to tell victims about the Confidential
Reporting Process. The counselor must make a
judgment call: is it appropriate to discuss crime
reporting in this particular situation?

Confidential Reporting Process: victims
can report crimes confidentially (no names or
criminal investigation) to the Police or to a
designated Campus Security Authority for
inclusion in crime statistics.
I’m a Campus Security Authority
and I’m not a counselor
What do I have to do?
 If someone tells you about a crime or
an incident that may be a crime, you
must record the information and submit
it to the CSA Coordinator (Women’s Ctr)
 Just get the facts, the Police will do the
analysis
 When in doubt, REPORT
What crimes do I have to
report?
These nine Clery crimes must be reported:

Criminal homicide

Sex offenses, forcible & non-forcible

Aggravated assault

Robbery

Burglary

Motor vehicle theft

Arson
What crimes do I have to
report? (continued)


Hate Crimes (by bias)
Arrests & disciplinary referrals for
violations of liquor, drug, and
weapon laws
Timing is (almost) everything
Be sure to document
 When did the crime or incident occur?
 When did the person report it to you?
The law requires that the crime be reported
for the calendar year in which it was first
reported to a Campus Security Authority
– not when it occurred, not when it was
reported to police
Location, location, location
You must report if it occurred

On campus

On campus, in residence halls

On public property adjacent to campus

On non-campus property owned or
controlled by the University or a recognized
student organization (e.g., Sedgwick Ranch,
fraternities)
Not reportable


Do Not Report Crimes if
A person tells you about a crime that occurred
before he/she came to the University
OR
While he/she was away from campus and not
involved in a UC activity - e.g., at home on
spring break
But DO tell the student about
reporting options, and refer for help
For example
A student tells you that she was raped by
another student at her off-campus apartment.
Although the crime did not occur at a location
covered by Clery reporting, the accused student
IS subject to University disciplinary action for
this off-campus conduct. In addition, the victim
is eligible for campus assistance and resources.
Just get the facts

Police will categorize the report: your job is
to get the information the person is willing
to tell you. Remember:
- You are not a detective
- You don’t have to prove what happened or
who was at fault, or classify the crime
- You aren’t supposed to find the perpetrator
Describe options

Let the person know about options for
reporting to police:
- anonymously
(http://www.police.ucsb.edu/Web/MailForm/
ReportACrime.php)
- for information only
- for investigation
Describe options


Inform her/him about the confidential
reporting process to law enforcement
available through the Rape Prevention
Education Program for sexual assaults
BUT: The decision isn’t yours
-a person who talks to you may not want to talk to
police – and doesn’t have to
Offer referrals to campus and
other resources, including

Campus victims’ assistance programs for sexual
assault and other crimes - the Rape Prevention
Education Program (RPEP)-Women’s Center

Available medical treatment

Counseling services for students and staff

Santa Barbara Rape Crisis Center 24-hour line,
564-3696
Document & report the facts


Complete a Crime & Incident Report Form
