UPenn releases more info on crime victims
The University of Pennsylvania will again release crime victims' specific affiliations with the University when publicly reporting crime statistics, its Divison of Public Safety announced on Nov. 22. The inclusion of victims' affiliations with the University will make it possible to track the number of crimes targeted specifically at students.
The division amended its policy earlier this year, choosing only to indicate whether victims were affiliated with the University. No distinction was made between students, faculty and staff when reporting crimes.
UPenn's history with crime reporting includes an accusation by the government of underreporting crime in the mid-1990s, and the University was found to have violated a crime-reporting law in 1998. Officials say that they now go so far as to over-report crimes to the government and the public.
Still, some officials at UPenn have expressed concern that making such information public could threaten a victims' privacy.
