The report, required by the federal Jeanne Clery Disclosure of Campus Security Policy and Campus Crime Statistics Act (commonly known as the Clery Act), includes information about campus safety programs as well as a summary of certain categories of crimes reported on and around 嘿嘿视频 property in calendar year 2015.

The University of California has implemented a series of measures to prevent and respond to sexual violence on UC campuses, including mandatory education for all incoming students, and standardized investigation and adjudication processes. At 嘿嘿视频, the Center for Advocacy, Resources and Education, or CARE, provides confidential crisis intervention, support and advocacy to survivors of sexual violence and sexual harassment.
Crime statistics
The annual report tallies crimes specified by federal regulation, reported to have occurred on or adjacent to 嘿嘿视频 property, as well as at properties owned or controlled by the university, including the Davis campus and the 嘿嘿视频 Health System in Sacramento. The summary also includes reports taken by police agencies with jurisdiction adjacent to university property. .
The report includes both crimes reported to police, and those reported through university employees who, under the Clery Act, are defined as 鈥渃ampus security authorities.鈥 These can include deans, athletic coaches, faculty advisors for student clubs, resident assistants and student advisors. 嘿嘿视频 surveyed more than 900 campus security authorities to compile numbers for the 2015 Clery report.
The number of reports can be driven by both the actual number of incidents, and the willingness of victims to report them either to police or others. Many crimes, especially sexual assault, are believed to be underreported.
CARE provides data on disclosures of sexual violence, but only with permission of the victims and without disclosing personally identifying information.
Specific crimes
嘿嘿视频 received reports of 28 cases of rape (including attempted rape), 20 cases of fondling and one report of statutory rape in 2015.
The university鈥檚 2015 Clery statistics also include 15 cases of domestic violence, five cases of dating violence and 22 cases of stalking.
In 2015, the university received reports on 54 burglaries, 22 cases of aggravated assault, four robberies and nine auto thefts. The Clery report specifically does not include cases of simple theft, such as bicycles stolen while left outside buildings or backpacks stolen while left briefly unattended.
The campus received nine reports classified as hate crimes: four cases of vandalism, two assault cases and three cases of intimidation.
The Clery statistics also include 38 arrests (or citations) for drugs, 62 for liquor offenses and eight for weapons offenses.
