Crime Reporting
Clery Act
The Jeanne Clery Disclosure of Campus Security Policy and Campus Crime Statistics Act (originally known as the Campus Security Act) is a federal law requiring colleges and universities across the United States to disclose information about crime on and around their campuses. In compliance with this law, the USC Department of Public Safety (DPS) prepares an annual report presenting statistical information related to all of the university's campuses.
