The data required under the Crime Awareness and
ampus Security Act that Congress will consider this
sssion is already present at USC, said Carl Stokes,
tfiior vice president of Law Enforcement and Safety.
"The data this legislation is trying to get is already
lere on a voluntary basis. But if it's mandated, this
going to cost; and the cost is going to be passed to
le student paying tuition," Stokes said. "To mandate
ly police department to publicate crime data is not
xessary "
Vice President of Student Affairs Dennis Pruilt said
SC publishes a listing each year of the crimes that
-cur on campus in an annual report of law enforcement
and safety.
Several other states have passed measures similiar
) the bill now in congress, and Pruitt said the meaurp
m.iv hp. Prtstiv.
"I saw that at the University of Pennsylvania, it's
stimated to cost $120,000," he said. "If it's going to
ost us $120,000, where is that money going to come
'om?"
Stokes said a copy of every incident report is sent
) the State Law Enforcement Division where the intonation
is verified and compiled.
SLED then reports back to each agency and gives
icm crime statistics for each month, according to
tokes.
Stokes also said, however, that crimes occurring on
treets near campus are reported to the city police deartmenl
who report the crimes to SLED.
