The number of assaults reported to Security and Parking increased 174 per cent from 1973 to 1974. There were 26 assaults reported in 1973 and 71 reported in 1974.
Thomas said the large increase in assaults could have been a result of the large number of multieffenders in this category. Al Johnson, who pleaded no责任 in his case, raped and one count of attempted rape, was also suspect in several arrests. Thomas said.
Multiple offenders also helped account for a 44.5 per cent increase in reported larcences, Thomas said. He said one person had been arrested and another involved in at least 10 reported larcences.
In most cases where a door was left unlocked and something was stolen, the act was classified as a larceny, Thomas said. To be classified as a burglary, an item must have been taken after a burglar had made a considerable effort to enter a closed structure.
Some people aren't locking their doors, Thomas said. There has been a great increase of residence hall thefts in which residents had left their doors unlocked.
There were 305 larcenies reported in 1973 and 550 reported in 1974. An average of 16.6 larcenies per year was reported in 1974.
Burglaries reported to Security and Parking decreased 25 per cent from 1973 to 1974, from 260 reported in 1973 to 195 reported in 1974.
THOMAS SAID THE decrease in burglary might be because more people leave their doors open so that many thefts are recorded as larcenies.
"People are getting more careless," Thomas said.
Rapes reported to Security and Parking decreased 75 per cent from 1973 to last year. There were eight rapes reported in 1973 and two reported in 1974.
There were no murders or manslaughter reported in Security and Parkin in either 1978 or 1980.
TOTAL ARRESTS FOR the Security and Parking Department were up 117 per cent, from 147 arrested in 1973 to 320 arrested in 1974.
Thomas said this rise in arrests could be attributed in part to the over-all increase in crimes reported from 1973 to 1974. He said that the department made many more arrests of multiple offenders in 1974 than in past years.
"We were fortunate to make the large
number of arrests that we did in 1974," Thomas said.
