Examining and Evaluating University Clery Act Programs: Sexual Assault on University Campuses
Terman, Jessica
Journal of Public Affairs Education, v28 n1 p56-79 2022
The #metoo movement has drawn attention to the significant issue of sexual assault. The concern has been so considerable that the US Department of Education (DoE) mandated adherence to various crime prevention, reporting and support practices through the Jeanne Clery Disclosure of Campus Security Policy and Crime Statistics Act (Clery Act). As public affairs scholars and university professors, we are concerned with the well-being of our students and the effectiveness of programs within our universities and societies. And, more importantly, our students will be administrators in public organizations who are affected by the same oversight and efficacy issues that influence program implementation of federal policy such as the Clery Act. Using a content analysis of more than 20 years of Clery Act investigation documents (1996-2017) and interviews with Clery and Title IX coordinators, this study examines the Act as a mechanism for sexual assault prevention, reporting and survivor support.
