A Shared Responsibility (continued)
A
Report of the University of
Pennsylvania
Division of Public Safety
It is important to note that the crime classifications
for which colleges and universities must provide statistics
differ under state and federal law. Statistics for certain
crime classifications might appear to be different. For
example, the federal statistics for motor vehicle theft
differ from the state statistics for the same category
because the federal classification includes attempted
motor vehicle thefts, while state law requires institutions
to separately report attempted motor vehicle thefts.
The Pennsylvania College and University Security Information
Act
Campus Crime Statistics for The University of Pennsylvania
The
Pennsylvania College and University Security Information
Act requires the release
of crime statistics and rates to students and employees,
and it requires that those statistics be available to
applicants and new employees upon request. The
rate is
based on the actual number of Full Time Equivalent (FTE)
students and employees, which is calculated
according
to a state-mandated formula. The index in the table
below is based on incidents per 100,000 FTEs. The
University's
FTE population for 2000 was 38,534, for 2001 was 38,873
and for 2002 was 39,909.
Note: The statistics reflect an expanded geographic area
beyond the campus.
