Jeanne Clery Campus Security Policy & Crime Statistics Disclosure Act

1. 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

2. 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.

3. 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.

4. 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” • UCSB Clery Act Coordinator has the final word

5. UCSB Police CSO officers Non-police security staff responsible for monitoring or controlling entrance to campus property parking/information kiosk attendants campus escorts Special events security staff Responsible for campus security

6. Designated individuals to whom crimes can be reported anonymously • Specific individuals or departments named by UCSB to which students and employees should report criminal offenses • UCSB campus security policy directs crimes be reported to: - Stephan Franklin, Office of Judicial Affairs - Kim Equinoa, Women’s Center - Farfalla Borah, Human Resources - Kristen Burnett, Housing & Residential Services

9. 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

10. 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.

11. 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

12. 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

13. Confidential reporting option: • UCSB encouragesprofessional 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.

14. 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

15. 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

16. What crimes do I have to report? (continued) • Hate Crimes (by bias) • Arrests & disciplinary referrals for violations of liquor, drug, and weapon laws

17. 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 reportedfor 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

18. 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)

19. 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

20. 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.

21. 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

22. 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

23. 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

24. 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

25.

28. Filling out the form: you’re not the expert, and you don’t have to be • You don’t have to be a criminal lawyer or know the classification • Just indicate the crime that seems most likely or possible • The experts (the Police) will make the final determination and classify the crimes
