Three recent crimes reported to the George Washington University, and how the university identified their perpetrators to students and staff:
Crime No. 1. On Feb. 15, former G.W. mailroom worker James Markley was arrested for making a non-specific threat to faculty and students over the telephone. A crime alert was issued to the campus community naming the former employee, circulating his photograph and informing students to immediately inform G.W. police if they spot him on campus.
Crime No. 2. On Feb. 14, a G.W. library worker received more than just a threat; while she was assisting a man inside the library, he put his hands down her pants and up her shirt. A crime alert was issued describing the suspect, a 35- to 45-year-old black male wearing a white sweater; a few weeks later, a follow-up alert notified the campus that the man had been identified through surveillance tape as a current G.W. graduate student. The university declined to release the suspects name to the campus at large; the unnamed student was referred to G.W. Student Judicial Services.
Crime No. 3. On Jan. 6, an incident of sex abuse occurred inside on-campus freshman residence Thurston Hall. It was reported to the university a month and a half after the incident. The case, which remains open, didnt inspire a crime alertjust a single line in the University Police Department log.
Wondering why crimes like No. 2 and No. 3 dont inspire a campus response thats more in line with crime No. 1?
