FINDINGS.

SEC. 202. FINDINGS.The Congress finds that— (1) the reported incidence of crime, particularly violent crime, on some college campuses has steadily risen in recent years; (2) although annual “National Campus Violence Surveys” indicate that roughly 80 percent of campus crimes are commit-ted by a student upon another student and that approximately 95 percent of the campus crimes that are violent are alcohol- or drug-related, there are currently no comprehensive data on campus crimes; (3) out of 8,000 postsecondary institutions participating in Federal student aid programs, only 352 colleges and universities voluntarily provide crime statistics directly through the Uni-form Crime Report of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, and other institutions report data indirectly, through local police 104 STAT. 2385 agencies or States, in a manner that does not permit campus statistics to be separated; (4) several State legislatures have adopted or are considering legislation to require reporting of campus crime statistics and dissemination of security practices and procedures, but the bills are not uniform in their requirements and standards; (5) students and employees of institutions of higher education should be aware of the incidence of crime on campus and policies and procedures to prevent crime or to report occurrences of crime; (6) applicants for enrollment at a college or university, and their parents, should have access to information about the crime statistics of that institution and its security policies and procedures; and (7) while many institutions have established crime preventive measures to increase the safety of campuses, there is a clear need— (A) to encourage the development on all campuses of security policies and procedures; (B) for uniformity and consistency in the reporting of crimes on campus; and (C) to encourage the development of policies and procedures to address sexual assaults and racial violence on college campuses.
