Description
Introduction:
Saturday, April 5, 1986, 19-year-old Lehigh University student Jeanne Clery waited in her campus dorm room with her door propped, awaiting a pizza delivery order, subsequently falling asleep while waiting for her order to arrive. A 20-year-old male student, Joseph Henry, who had left a campus party, walked into the dormitory making his way up each floor looking for unlocked doors when he came upon Jeanne's open door on the second floor. Initially entering her dorm to steal, when Jeanne woke up, Henry physically and sexually attacked her. Subsequently, he slashed her throat with a piece of broken glass and strangled her to death.
During a search of the male's dorm room, they discovered Jeanne's stolen property. The male student was found guilty of numerous crimes totaling up to 67 years, in addition to his death sentence (Elwell, 1988).
As a result of this campus-related incident, Jeanne's parents, determined to ensure their daughter had not died in vain, founded the Clery Center for Security on Campus and advocated to politicians and legislators on behalf of mandated security standards and reporting procedures. In 1991, Congress passed the Crime Awareness and Campus Security Act, later renamed the Jeanne Clery Act.

SCHOOL VIOLENCE AND CLERY CASE

In 1986, the crime rate at Lehigh University and the nearby surroundings was quite
high. A number of persons had complained about their doors being opened months before the
death of Jeanne Clery who was a university student. The security of the campus was not
adequate enough hence the high crime rate and so were the measures which had been set by
the university (Bellotti, 1995). In the months prior to the death of Clery, school violence was
experienced in over 30 universities. The number of students who were sexually assaulted was
quite high and a number of the sexual assault victims didn't report the assault to the
appropriate offices (Roark, 1987).
