UC Davis is committed to encouraging victims of sexual assault to report the crime to law enforcement. One focus of our grant from the Department of Justice is the development of a comprehensive coordinated response team to ensure that victims are provided support and assistance in the reporting process.

We will continue to encourage reporting of violence against women and hope to significantly increase the number of women who freely and voluntarily elect to file a report with law enforcement.

Five robberies were reported in 2003.

There were six reported incidents of aggravated assault involving sixteen victims. One was on the UC Davis campus and fifteen at the Medical Center. The assault on campus occurred on the sidewalk area near an IM Field. During this assault, the UCD student victim was struck with a knife thrown from a passing vehicle. The victim sustained a laceration to the leg. No suspect was identified.

In the assaults at the Medical Center, police officers, UCDMC staff and a Med Center visitor were victims. No life threatening injuries were sustained. The cases were referred to the district attorney for charges.
