Criminal Offenses at LSC

Each year, Public Safety provides a report to raise awareness of crimes on and around campus.
The categories are as follows: Murder/Non-negligent manslaughter, negligent manslaughter, forceable and non-forceable sex offenses, robbery, aggrivated assault, burglary, motor vehicle theft and arson.

Last year in 2008, out of these categories, there were two forcible sex offenses on campus. These offemses occured in the residence halls. None of the listed offenses took place on public property, or were reported to have manifested evidence of prejudice based on race, gender,religion, sexual orientation, ethnicity/national origin or disability. 62 people guilty of violating drug laws were referred to disciplinary action. One was arrested. 128 students were referred to disciplinary action for violation of liquor laws. Three were arrested.

Considering it is only halfway through the semester, and two sexual assaults have already taken place this year, 2009 is not looking good in some categories. This information is available to the public through Public Safety's homepape: http://www.lyndonstate.edu/AboutLyndon/PublicSafety/tabid/172/Default.aspx. A daily log is also kept and available upon request.
