What are the four types of Clery Geography?

The four types of Clery Geography are indeed On Campus, Residential Facilities, Noncampus, and Public Property. This classification is crucial for institutions when they are reporting crime statistics in compliance with the Clery Act.

On Campus includes all the buildings and properties that are owned or controlled by the institution and are used for educational purposes. Residential Facilities refers to housing facilities used for students, which can include dormitories and other living spaces provided by the institution.

Noncampus locations are properties that are not owned or controlled by the institution but are used in direct support of or in relation to the institution's educational purposes. These might include facilities rented for educational purposes or other related activities. Public Property encompasses all public areas immediately adjacent to and accessible from campus properties, such as streets and sidewalks.

Understanding these categories is essential for ensuring that institutions accurately report and disclose crime statistics, which helps to provide transparency and safeguard the campus community. This classification framework enables better risk assessment and enhances the safety strategies implemented by the institution.
