Columbia College Campus Safety believes the community has the right to know about criminal incidents on campus. We believe that by reviewing the statistics, you can make an educated decision about choices to stay safe. We encourage members of the campus community to be active in crime prevention through education, by asking questions and reporting crime when it occurs.
The federal law requires that colleges and universities disclose statistics on seven crimes that may occur on campus. As classified by the FBI Uniform Crime Report, the definition for these crimes are listed below:
Murder and non-negligent manslaughter: The willful (non-negligent) killing of one human being by another. Negligent manslaughter: the killing of another person through gross negligence.
Sex offense (forcible): Any sexual act directed against another person, forcibly and/or against that person's will; or not forcibly or against the person's will where the victim is incapable of giving consent.
Sex offense (non-forcible): Unlawful, non-forcible sexual intercourse.
Robbery: The taking or attempting to take anything of value from the care, custody or control of a person or persons by force or threat of force or violence and/or by putting the victim in fear.
Aggravated assault: An unlawful attack by one person upon another for the purpose of inflicting severe or aggravated bodily injury. This type of assault usually is accompanied by the use of a weapon or by means likely to produce death or great bodily harm.
Burglary: The unlawful entry of a structure to commit a felony or a theft.
Motor vehicle theft: The theft or attempted theft of a motor vehicle.
Arson: Any willful or malicious burning or attempt to burn, with or without intent to defraud, a dwelling house, public building, motor vehicle or aircraft, personal property of another, etc.
Larceny-theft: The unlawful taking, carrying, leading, or riding away of property from the possession or constructive possession of another. (Hate crime reporting only.)
Simple assault: An unlawful physical attack by one person upon another where neither the offender displays a weapon, nor the victim suffers obvious severe or aggravated bodily injury involving apparent broken bones, loss of teeth, possible internal injury, severe laceration or loss of consciousness. (Hate crime reporting only.)
Intimidation: To unlawfully place another person in reasonable fear of bodily harm through the use of threatening words and/or other conduct, but without displaying a weapon or subjecting the victim to actual physical attack. (Hate crime reporting only.)
Vandalism (destruction or damage) of property (except arson): To willfully or maliciously destroy, damage, deface, or otherwise injure real or personal property without the consent of the owner or the person having custody or control of it. (Hate crime reporting only.)
Hate crimes: Any of the aforementioned offenses and any other crime involving bodily injury reported to local police agencies or to a campus security authority that manifests evidence that the victim was intentionally selected because of the perpetrator's bias. The categories of bias are: race, gender, religion, sexual orientation, ethnicity/national origin and disability.
