Mizzou Resource Guide, Protocols, Analysis of Campus Safety

Many security protocols on College Campus can be attributed to the Clery Act. The 1990 Clery Act requires that universities and universities who receive federal financing will publish an annual security report for the previous three years. At the University of Missouri, this data is recorded by the police authority of the Missouri University. The Clery Act ensures transparency for students and parishioners in relation to Campus crimes.

Crime statistics in the annual security reports are not limited to crime on campus. This also includes the following areas:

• Student apartments and public property within the campus boundaries or directly next to the campus.
• Non-Campus ownership that belongs to an organization for educational purposes or is controlled by an organization.
• Non-Campus ownership that are often used by students who are not part of the core campus or building or are controlled by an officially recognized student organization.

The Clery Act determines specific, standardized definitions for crimes to enable transparency for campus occurrence between institutions. The reported crime statistics are based on the definitions for uniform crime reporting of the FBI.

Some data reported in the ASR may not match the reports of the Missouri State Highway Patrol or the Columbia Police Department, since the Clery Act comes to the unique parameters.

ASR data from 2015 to 2023 help the public to better understand how trends in crime have fluctuated on the MU campus in recent years.

The ASR describes a variety of crimes, including serious bodily harm, arson, burglary, domestic violence, pharmaceutical and alcoholic arrest, motor vehicle theft, robbery and stalking. The amount of the crimes mentioned previously has remained at a steady price from 2015 to 2023, but some have had short changes in their patterns in recent years.

Data from the ASR can be found in Mu archives, online or in the Ellis Library and on the website of the University University of the University of the University. You can find data for 1997-2007 and 2015 – 2023. Data from 2008 – 2014 are not available via MU archives or online. The data used to pursue trends have come from the past eight years.

By considering raw data, qualitative factors such as community and police relationships and repeat offenders can be minimized. It is important to take into account how these factors can affect numerical data. Brian Weimer, MU police chief of the police, said that if crime data appears high, this can indicate trust in the police and the ability of the residents to work with the authorities to solve crimes.

“If you have a police department that builds a strong relationship with your community, people can report the crimes rather than in other places,” said Weimer.

2005 – youngest murder that took place at Mu

The most recent murder on Mus Campus occurred in 2005. At that time nobody was charged, but in 2015 a suspect was identified by a DNA match.

Weimer said that the resolution of crimes can take a wide range depending on the complexity of the case.

“It doesn't work the way you can see on TV,” said Weimer. “By that I mean that the DNA was collected at the time, but in the system we only got a match after 10 years until you know that 10 plus years later.”

No murders have been recorded on campus since 2005, as reported in Mus Asrs.

From 2015 to 2023 there were an average of seven burglaries per calendar year. Most of it was recorded in 2015, 15 burglaries occurred. The lowest number was reported in 2021 and again in 2023.

2015 – increase in hate crimes

The ASR contains data for reporting on hate crimes above or near Mu. In 2015, eight hate crimes were reported for reasons, including gender identity, ethnicity, religion and race. In the following years, data reported significantly lower numbers.

In the autumn semester of 2015, a group of students, who was named as a student in 1950, who were named after the first year of black students, protested in Mu, such as the University of Racism dealt on campus. During the entire year 2015, many black students spoke out on campus against incidents of racist comments and actions by other students.

The protests continued in autumn, and on November 2, 2015, the student affected in 1950, Jonathan Butler, began a hunger strike. Butler demanded that President Tim Wolfe resign. On November 7, 2015, a group of black students in the Missouri football team refused to play a game until Wolfe had resigned.

Wolfe resigned on November 9, 2015. His resignation took place two days after Missouri's football players had refused to play, and seven days after Butler's hunger strike. Wolfe was replaced by the current UM system president and MU Chancellor Mun Choi.

Only a hate crime was reported in 2016, and after 2018, no hate crimes were reported on the MOS campus, according to ASR.

In this academic year, the Legion of Black Collegians stopped on Instagram that from October 6, 2024 there were two cases within a week, in which several students from the region, including the Rock Bridge High School, racist deterioration among members of the Legion and a friend of a member who went near the Gaines/Oldham Black Culture Center, and how they were, and in a recording by a member of Gaines/Oldham Black Culture Center. In the Instagram post, the Legion listed the demand to the university to change their handling of these actions. A month later, the Legion published an update in which Mu had taken steps to make the campus safer, but would see more.

2021 – lack of changes in sexual assault in MU

ASRS show that the number of reported sexual attacks between 2015 and 2023 remained relatively consistent. According to the CLERY law, sexual assaults are divided into four species: rape, strengthling, incest and statutory rape. The graphic shows the total number of reports on sexual attacks from 2015 to 2023.

During this period, no reports on incest or statutory rape were not recorded in any ASR.

It is important to note that ASRS only reflects incidents that are reported. According to the 2015 research center for sexual sexual violence published, published, published more than 90% Do not report from College students who experience sexual assault.

On September 29, 2021, more against relationships and sexual violence, a student organization organized a protest on the speakers Circle. The protest expressed solidarity with people in Columbia who had reported to be put under drugs and to deal with the lack of accountability of the MUPD and the University.
