Jeanne Clery

Jeanne Clery was a college student whose tragic death in 1986, after being raped and murdered on her campus, led to significant changes in campus safety legislation in the United States. Her case prompted the passage of the Clery Act in 1990, which requires colleges to disclose crime statistics and safety policies, aiming to inform students and parents about campus safety issues. Her legacy continues to influence discussions around university security and student safety.
