The Clery Act stipulates specific crime statistic reporting regulations for colleges and universities with the intended result of providing accurate and timely safety information to students, faculty, and staff so they can make informed decisions concerning safety. The present study examined the utilization of information, as required by the Clery Act, by measuring the construct of both unique invulnerability and student behavior modifications following exposure to campus crime statistics. Three groups of participants reviewed three differing levels of criminal activity severity.
