The "Clery Act" is named in honor of the 19-year-old [[Lehigh University]] freshman Jeanne Ann Clery.  She was raped and murdered by an attack when she slept in her dormitory on April 5, 1986.  Her parents then learned for the first time that 38 violent crimes had occurred on the Lehigh campus in the prior three years before her murder.  This law is designed to ensure parents and students are aware of danger.
