Liquor law violations in 2012 both on campus and off were at their lowest since 2010 — and less than half the total violations of 2011, according to a report released yesterday.
The Office of Student Rights and Community Standards released the annual Campus Crime Statistics report on Tuesday, providing criminal offense reports, arrests and disciplinary referrals for 2012.
This report is done in compliance with the Higher Education Act and also includes campus policies regarding alcohol and drugs and emergency response procedures.
Total arrests due to liquor law violations decreased from 442 in 2011 to 205 in 2012, but disciplinary referrals due to liquor law violations stayed relatively stable and only decreased by 24 to a total of 1,146 violations in 2012.
In 2012 there were no murders or negligent manslaughters either on campus or off campus, consistent with 2010 and 2011.
Sex offenses increased by three from 2011 to a total of 17 forcible offenses in 2012. The majority occurred on campus and in on-campus housing.
Aggravated assault increased by 15 offenses in 2012 to a total of 21 offenses.
Burglaries decreased by 29 from 2011 to only 14 total in 2012, nine of which occurred on campus.
The report also includes statistics on hate crimes. No hate crimes in any category have been reported for 2010, 2011 or 2012.
