Crime Rate at JMU

<p>I’m a parent of a JMU student and looked over this log. For the month of March, there were 2.7 incidents daily. It seems like the majority of them were fire alarms and larceny in “unsecured” areas. It seems to be common sense to lock your room when you aren’t in it , don’t leave your wallet in the bathroom, and lock up your valuables at UREC. There were not any violent crimes but the run of the mill drunk in public, occasional graffiti and firecrackers. This seems to be what I would consider typical of any college campus. My daughter feels safe at JMU, does lock her dorm room, and occasionally uses the student cadet program ride home when she is across campus late at night. There are also emergency phones all over campus. I am comfortable that JMU is a safe university.</p>
