Pasadena City College: The Courier
10.14.15 | John Orona
With weekly mass shootings becoming the norm and sexual assault on campuses consistently in the news, students can take comfort knowing that there is at least some relative safety in attending Pasadena City College.
Late last month PCC released its annual Clery Crime Report, which compiles statistics for specific crimes and arrests that happened on and around campus over the last three years. The report, which has been federally mandated since 1990 by the Jeanne Clery Act, includes offenses such burglary, assault, arson, and others from 2012 to 2014.
With the reauthorization of the Violence Against Women Act (VAWA) in 2013, the Clery Act was amended to require all higher education schools that participate in federal student aid programs to include statistics on sexual assault, dating violence, stalking, and domestic abuse, as well any policies, procedures, and programs the school has in place relating to those crimes.
