The number of property crimes and liquor violations at UC Davis declined this past year, but assaults increased slightly at the Davis campus and the university's medical center in Sacramento. The findings will be part of a report prepared by the University of California Police Department to document crimes at UC's nine campuses and the Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory. Data from the Davis campus and its Sacramento medical center show that violent crime, which includes homicide, rape, robbery and aggravated assault, represented 2 percent of all crimes committed last year, up about 1 percent from 1991. Drunk driving arrests decreased 50 percent from 1991. UC Davis police officers patrolling the streets surrounding both the medical center in Sacramento and the campus in Davis arrested 107 for driving under the influence of alcohol. Of those arrested, 95 had no affiliation with the university. "The rate of both violent crime and property crime at UC Davis is much lower than it is in the neighboring communities that surround our Davis campus and our medical center in Sacramento," says Calvin E. Handy, UC Davis police chief. "The majority of those arrested for violent crime were not members of our campus community. As our campus expands, both in Davis and Sacramento, our officers' patrol coverage encompasses a much larger geographical area that includes two major interstate freeway systems and parts of metropolitan Sacramento."
