Sin by Silence
October is Domestic Violence
Awareness Month. Domestic
violence is the willful intimidation, physical assault, battery,
sexual assault, and/or other abusive behavior perpetrated by an
intimate partner against another.
Domestic violence knows no
boundaries, claiming victims of all
ages, economic status’, race,
religion, nationality and educational backgrounds. It does show
a systematic pattern of dominance and control resulting in
physical injury, psychological
trauma and sometimes even
death.
One in every four women will
experience domestic violence in
her lifetime. As many as 60% of

Annual Security Report
In 1990, Congress enacted the Crime Awareness and Campus Security Act that is now
know as the Jeanne Clery Disclosure of Campus Security Policy and Campus Crime
Statistics Act.
Compliance with the Clery Act requires Mott Community College to provide timely
notification of the campus community of certain crimes or incidents that are (a) reported
to campus security authorities or local police agencies, and (b) considered by the institution to represent a serious or continuing threat to students and employees.
The Act also requires that we collect, maintain and disclose campus crime statistics.
You can find these statistics in the Annual Security Report (ASR) . The ASR can be
found online on the Department of Public Safety webpage at www.mcc.edu. or ask any
of your Public Safety officers and representatives for a hard copy. We’ll be glad to give
you a copy!
The Annual Security Report also contains information about many of the Public Safety
programs and initiatives. Get your copy today!
