Nevertheless, such events can have devastating and long-lasting consequences for students, faculty, and family members. While crimes of violence occurrences are the most visible to the public through extensive media coverage, the most prevalent crimes occurring on campuses tend to be less severe property crimes (Burke, 2010). Nonetheless, college administrators and campus law enforcement must take threats of extreme violence seriously, and do everything they can to improve the safety and security of students, faculty, and staff on campuses. It is important to determine the nature and extent of all crime on college campuses. This report presents detailed information about reported crime on four-year college and university campuses in Illinois using data collected by colleges as mandated by the Jeanne Clery Disclosure of Campus Security Policy and Campus Crime Statistics Act (Clery Act), and submitted to the U.S. Department of Education, Office of Post-Secondary Education. Reported crime data from the 37 four-year colleges and universities in Illinois with enrollments of 2,500 or more are presented in this report for the period of 2005 to 2008. Trends in violent and property crime at 25 private colleges and 12 public colleges were examined. Results observed in the Clery Act data were also compared to trends observed in two other sources of Illinois campus crime data, including the Illinois State Police Uniform Crime Reporting Program (I-UCR) and the Annual Security Reports provided by each university (typically available through institutional websites). This was done to highlight that separate data sources can lead to different conclusions and policy recommendations. Details: Chicago: Illinois Criminal Justice Information Authority, 2011. 95p.
