The Clery Act calls for parents, students, faculty, or anyone else to have access to campus crime stats. It also calls upon colleges to support victims of violence and make their campus safety policies known.

Why Was The Clery Act Enacted?

It's named after Jeanne Clery who was raped and murdered at Lehigh University in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania.

The campus had a very bad record with regard to violent crimes and Jeanne's parents sued the university on the grounds that, had they known about those crimes, Jeanne would not have enrolled there.

They won and the Clery Act was put into place.
