See also: Campus Crimes Drop Slightly in '93 from the Oct. 1 issue
On the following pages, please find statistics for campus crime,
police activity and services during the period January 1 - June 30,
1993 (inclusive).
Of the 1,043 complaints made to the MIT Police Department in the first
half of 1993, 8 were in the crimes against the person category. This
figure reflects crimes which took place on MIT property and not crimes
involving members of the MIT community that occurred adjacent to MIT
(such as Memorial Drive). Although in 1993, members of the community
were victims of crimes off the MIT campus but in the City of
Cambridge, these crime statistics are maintained by the Cambridge and
Metro Police Departments. Although MIT Police officers may have been
involved in the police response to the scene, the jurisdiction of the
crime is determined by its location. The following pages provide a
detailed synopsis of each incident.
