The number of drug law violations referred to GW’s disciplinary office swelled about 65 percent from 2012 to 2013, according to crime data released Wednesday, and alcohol violations also increased.

Drug cases that were handled by the University, which did not necessarily result in arrests, rose from 162 violations in 2012 to 268 in 2013. The number of arrests for drugs dropped from 20 cases to 11 during the same time frame.

Alcohol violations that were referred for disciplinary action also increased about 48 percent, from 291 violations to 431 violations. The number of arrests for liquor law violations spiked from one to 14.

Since 2009, liquor law violations have increased about 12 percent each year.

The crime data, which GW is required to release annually under the federal Clery Act, also showed that the number of reported burglaries nearly doubled to 39 from 20. The number of burglaries dropped by half from 2011 to 2012, though University Police Department Chief Kevin Hay said last year that the change was partially attributed to a narrower definition of what the Federal Bureau of Investigation defines as a burglary.

The University announced last year that it would spend $1.2 million to install electronic locks in seven residence halls following a string of burglaries in sophomore and upperclassman housing.

Sex offenses, which include rapes and cases of forcible fondling, increased from 14 in 2012 to 17 in 2013. The number of sex offenses reported to non-police, such as the Sexual Assault Response Consultative Team, doubled – from 5 to 10 reports during the year.

For the first time, GW included the number of reported cases of domestic violence, dating violence and stalking under the reauthorized Violence Against Women Act. The University logged 18 reports of domestic violence, two dating violence cases and 12 stalking cases.
