This report includes statistics for the three calendar years preceding the report date for crimes reported to law enforcement officials and to public safety authorities that have reportedly occurred on campus, on adjacent public property, and in or on a non-campus building or property that is used by groups recognized by the University. The statistics may include duplications, in that some incidents reported to non-law enforcement officials also may have been reported to law enforcement agencies. Additionally, these statistics include reports of incidents that were later discovered to be unfounded or some that were dismissed.
