The KSU Department of Public Safety released this year’s Safe and Sound crime statistics report.
In compliance with the Jeanne Cleary Disclosure of Campus Policy and Campus Crime Statistics Act of 1990 KSU must annually release campus crime statistics to the public.
In 2011 KSU police reported two rapes, 28 burglaries, 60 liquor law violations and 24 drug violations that occurred on campus in student housing. Judicial referrals totaled 303 liquor law violations and 48 drug violations, all of which occurred in student housing.
In contrast, the University of Georgia’s 2011 crime statistics report recorded five rapes, 35 burglaries, 428 liquor law violations and 104 drug violations.
“I think the parents read this more than the students,” said Lt. B. Haynes from the Kennesaw Department of Public Safety. “But there is very good information here.”
The Department of Public Safety produces a brochure titled “Safe and Sound” that provides statistical information on campus crime as well as general information about the department’s role, safety programs and guidelines to help students avoid becoming victims of crime. The brochures are available at the Department of Public Safety or online at kennesaw.edu/police/ cleryactcompliance.html.
