In compliance with the Jeanne Clery Disclosure of Campus Security Policy and Campus Crime Statistics Act (“Clery Act”), Duke University is required to send Timely Warning Notices to the entire Duke community about reportable crimes that may include murder/non-negligent homicide, sexual assault, robbery, aggravated assault and other specific crime that have occurred in Duke's geography, which includes campus property, public property adjacent to and going through campus, and certain non-campus property that Duke leases or otherwise controls.
These crimes are evaluated on a case-by-case basis to determine if they represent an ongoing threat to the campus community and whether notification will aid in the prevention of similar crimes. See page 7 of the Duke University Annual Security Report for further information about Timely Warnings.
