The article uncovered crime statistics not previously known to the public. The USA Today stated: "They are the most comprehensive crime statistics available, far more statistics than the only other published collection of college crime statis- tics: the FBI Uniform Crime Report." Either Uja^ The article reported a higher assault figure at GSC than the 1987 FBI Uniform Crime Report, an organization to which colleges are supposed to disclose all reported crimes annually. 7fe#- are. qpinq^ And, although all information listed in the national newspa- per's report was apparently obtained directly from the colleges and universities and in some cases, the uniform crime report, GSC administrators, campus police question its accuracy in portraying college crime. Yet, The USA Today published the following: "Most data were obtained through the questionnaires sent to campus police or security officials. For 86 schools, which report statistics to the FBI but did not respond to our survey, we're using numbers from the FBI report." In the national newspaper's report, GSC crime may be incomparable with that of other colleges and universities be- cause assaults are listed as one category in which simple and aggravated assaults may be lumped together-revealing a mis- representation of assault at GSC. For example, the study showed GSC reported 20 cases of assault in 1987 while the University of Georgia reported 21. Campus Police Chief Ken Brown said, some of the 20 reported assaults at GSC may be simple assaults [while UGA may have only reported aggravated assaults.] This is one of many possibilities which our staff is presently researching. We at The George-Anne feel our efforts to spark crime awareness on and off campus by publishing statistics serve as a MTM TfoiMcnoris tf$8® preventive measure—if even one crime is prevented, it's worth it. Yet, discrepancies in pubhc reports are thwarting these efforts. When GSC's assault figure differs from 4 (FBI Uniform Crime Report) to 20 (The USA Today report) while all other numbers of less severe crimes remain consistent, most likely, something is amiss. Whether it be an inaccuracy in reporting or gathering facts of the national newspaper, a different compilation of figures by 1 campus police—attributable to Brown's explanation—or an un- intentional error (eg.
