Comments
This is a portion of HB2490 which was introduced last year by Delegate Paula Miller and referred to the Crime Commission for study during the summer/fall of 2011. The basis for this bill is that collaboration between campus and local police should be mandated when felony crime occurs on a college campus. Currently, local police cannot participate in investigating felonies that take place on a college campus unless an MAA exists or unless additional resources are requested by the University.
A Richmond Times-Dispatch review of sexual-assault reports from seven Virginia universities found that no cases involving student-on-student assault resulted in criminal prosecution from 2008 through 2010.
HB2490 was covered extensively in the media across Virginia. Despite the flood of email supporting the measure, the Crime Commission did not endorse all points of the legislation.
