Overall crime at Sacramento State has generally stayed the same, while the number of arrests has decreased, according to the Campus Security annual report. The report, called the Jeanne Cleary Disclosure Report for Sacramento State University, was released earlier this month.

Here are some of the findings:

? For the third year in a row, the number of reported aggravated assaults decreased, from 11 in 2005 and only seven in 2006, down 36 percent. ? The number of burglaries also decreased by 29 percent, from 62 in 2005 to 44 last year. ? Nine reported incidents of forcible sex offenses in 2006 were reported, up from six in 2005. There was also one reported non-forcible sex offense, compared to no incidents the previous two years.

? The number of reported robberies more than doubled over the past year-13 incidents in 2006 to six incidents in 2005 and 35 in 2004.

? There were 58 incidents in 2006, up from 33 in 2005, a difference of about 76 percent.

? There were 44 arrests last year, down from 55 in 2005 54 in 2004. Arrest totals include liquor, drug and weapons violations.

The annual report includes crimes that occur on or around campus, including residence halls, non-campus property and public property.

The “Clery Act” is named in memory of 19-year-old Lehigh University freshman Jeanne Clery who was raped and murdered while asleep in her residence hall room on April 5, 1986.

Jeanne’s parents, Connie and Howard Clery, discovered that students hadn’t been told about 38 violent crimes on the Lehigh campus in the three years before her murder. They joined with other campus crime victims and persuaded Congress to enact this law, which was originally known as the “Crime Awareness and Campus Security Act of 1990,” according to the campus police website.
