Figure 1 is based on the Clery Criminal Offense statistics reported for Main Campus. These offenses include rape, fondling, robbery, aggravated assault burglary, motor vehicle theft and arson. The blue indicates on-campus facilities while red represents student housing. A notable change in offenses is burglary, with six incidents reported in 2018, nine reported in 2019 and two reported in 2020.
