Violent crime at UC Davis decreased slightly in 1993 but there was a large increase in the number of property crimes committed at the Davis campus and the university's medical center in Sacramento. These findings are part of the latest report prepared annually by the University of California Police Department on reported crimes at UC's nine campuses and the Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory. "Statistics continue to suggest that, while crime does occur on campus and at the medical center in Sacramento, the rate of both violent crime and property crime continues to be lower than in the communities that surround us," says Calvin Handy, UC Davis police chief. Violent crime, including homicide, rape, robbery and aggravated assault, represented just under 1 percent of all crimes committed at UC Davis. All property crime, which includes burglary, arson, and theft of motor vehicles and bicycles, increased. Although burglaries decreased by two cases at the medical center, the campus jumped from 66 burglaries in 1992 to 178 last year. Communities in the region reported a general increase in the number of burglaries, notes Handy.
