New for this year, Richland’s leadership tracks the number of crimes committed on the campus
that fall under the Clery Act guidelines. The Clery Act includes criminal homicide, sexual
offenses, robbery, aggravated assault, burglary, arson, motor vehicle theft, arrests for liquor or
drug law violations, and possession of illegal weapons. Tracking of this measure is particularly
important since Richland’s campus is located in the 2nd highest crime precinct in the city of
Dallas according to recent statistics from the City of Dallas. Performance for this measure
●●
falls well short of the performance target due to a number of drug and liquor-law violations
●●
by students and visitors to the college campus (see Figure 3.5.7A)
represents a decline over the number of criminal incidents in 2008-09 and 2009-10 (see
Figure 3.5.7B)
All of the nine crimes reported in 2010-11 fall into the categories of burglary, motor vehicle theft,
and arrests for drug and liquor violations. Leadership left the aggressive target intact for 2011-
12.
