What counts as a crime here11 types
Every college that takes federal student aid publishes a yearly count of crimes reported on its campus, under a law called the Clery Act. A crime counts once someone reports it to police or to certain campus staff, even if no one is arrested.
Our violent count adds murder, rape, robbery, and aggravated assault. Austin’s numbers are police reports for the whole city, and the city counts sexual assault more broadly than the campus report counts rape.
West CampusAustin police data
Most students who live off campus live in West Campus, and the campus report doesn’t cover it. Our West Campus guide compares Austin police reports there with the rest of the city, from theft to serious crimes.
