Campus Crime Information and Statistics
The Jeanne Clery Disclosure of Campus Security Policy and Campus Crime Statistics Act of 1998 requires that colleges and universities publicize campus crime statistics and interim reports of serious crime incidents. These publicized statistics are meant to warn students, employees, and applicants of the prevalence of campus crime. Employees and students must be given interim crime reports which include statistics on murder, forcible sex offenses, non-forcible sex offenses, robbery, aggravated assault, burglary, larceny (theft), and motor vehicle theft. The annual report must also describe how to report crimes and emergencies on campus.

Campus Sex Crimes Prevention Act
The Federal Campus Sex Crimes Prevention Act (enacted on October 28, 2000) requires colleges and universities to issue a statement advising the campus community where state law enforcement agency information concerning registered sex offenders may be obtained. The act also requires registered sex offenders to provide to appropriate state officials notice of each institution of higher education in that state at which the offender is employed, carries on a vocation or is a student.
In complying with the Federal Campus Sex Crimes Prevention Act, the UMass Dartmouth Police Department has established a procedure to advise the local community where current sex offender registration information, at which the person is employed, carries on a vocation or is a student at UMass Dartmouth may be obtained.
The UMass Dartmouth Police Department routinely informs the campus community each academic year where they can find information on registered sex offenders.
