Crime Statistics
In accordance with the "Jeanne Clery Disclosure of Campus Security Policy and the Campus Crime Statistics Act," all colleges are required to provide their current students and employees with an annual copy of crime statistics. The Crime Statistics Report is designed as a general overview of safety-related programs and offices that Bennington College provides to its community. Included in the report are statistics for crimes that occurred on Bennington College property during the most recent calendar year as well as the three preceding years and the number of persons referred for campus disciplinary action for criminal offenses and for arrests made for liquor law violations, drug-related violations, and weapons possessions. Note: The criteria required for the Cleary Act differ from the criteria used for campus disciplinary statistics.
The following are the crime statistics on College property for the period of January 1, 2002 through December 31, 2005:
