The only national, nonprofit organization dedicated specifically and exclusively to the prevention of college campus crimes has jointly awarded UC Davis and Boston College its top honor. The Jeanne Clery National Safe Campus Award was presented to UC Davis because of the campus's assessing and planning efforts in the prevention of and response to campus crime, according to Constance Clery, co-founder of the Security on Campus Inc. along with her husband, Howard. They formed the organization after their daughter, Jeanne, was brutally raped, sodomized, beaten and murdered in her residence hall at Lehigh University in 1986. "This award is a reflection of our efforts to educate the campus community to personal safety issues," said Calvin Handy, UC Davis police chief. "Our crime prevention unit and our rape prevention and educational program work around the clock in building awareness of the potential for crime and of personal safety." In addition, UC Davis was selected because of its long-standing policy to publish its crime statistics, including cases related to sexual assaults, according to Clery.
