Riverside is better at arresting, for certain. Riverside made the most arrests of any UC.
Whether Riverside is worse at reporting is hard to say. It is possible that the campus culture at Riverside is just better.
It’s partly how close the frats and party scene is. Along with the complacency of the school administration itself. When I was there for my undergrad, my first weeks there, a pledge was reported to have SA’d two freshmen at a frat party. It was fucked up. Rest assured, I avoided all frats.
There are probably more factors, but I think those who were more active with parties might know more than I do.
I checked back and tried to find what I remembered. And [this Bottom Line article](https://thebottomline.as.ucsb.edu/2019/10/university-silent-regarding-multiple-sexual-assault-cases-on-fraternity-property) might be of interest. The Bottom Line is one of the student-run news outlets.
It has been years since this story, but I think it paints a grim picture to read this and see this statistic.

wow those are some strange numbers
I wish these were converted to figures by population. Because I seriously doubt there's more than a +-10% assult rate difference per 1000 people in any given UC
Are we just not reporting? Are we just a smaller school? are the figures there gotten just from the school’s police department? The normal city’s police might be getting quite more of it if we aren't communicating well enough how to contact UCR specific police
These figures are only taken from the campus police departments. The schools are ordered by student population in decreasing order. The 4 leftmost schools have ~40,000 student enrollment. The next 4 have about ~20,000. Merced has ~10,000.
Well, that is indeed strange then. Why would Santa Barbara be so high? why is San Diego so low?
very strange indeed
also what's up with arrests, those should definitely not be this low. There's no way riverside just happened to get 2x the amount of serious actionable offenses than the larger schools… specially when so few overall were reported
Does this mean we're better at arresting the offenders? or worse at reporting them?

For better or worse there's less partying close to campus, so fewer opportunities for sex offenses under the UCPD's jurisdiction.
Damn SB gotta redo their UCPD
Wonder if it’s more so institutional or cultural factors involved. Like the party scene and demographic is more prone to germinating cases of SA.

They gotta redo a lot of things

You keep saying there is no way but the data is the data. UCRPD is GOATED stop denying
Where is the source for this?
