In the three years before Jeanne's death, the campus had 38 violent crimes. The Clerys founded a non-profit group to lobby Congress for campus crime disclosure and prevention laws. The law Congress passed in 1998 to improve campus crime reporting was named The Jeanne Clery Act. Lehigh officials have improved campus security since Clery was killed, and violent crime there is down. Reports say there were 26 violent crimes reported from 1996 through 1998.
Dorms have card-operated electronic locks.
The Clerys welcome the changes and vow to continue pressing colleges to disclose more about campus crime. They also warn parents and students to examine closely colleges' crime figures. Don't believe them unless it's a seminary or a yeshiva. Share your schedule with parents and a network of close friends. Survey the campus after dark to see that buildings.
