CAMPUS SEX CRIMES PREVENTION ACT (CSCP)
The Campus Sex Crimes Prevention Act (section 1601 of Public Law 106-386) was enacted
in October of 2000. This particular amendment provides for the tracking of convicted
registered sex offenders enrolled as students at institutions of higher education, working
or volunteering on campus. The Act mandates that state procedures ensure that sex
offender or registration information is promptly made available to law enforcement
agencies with jurisdiction where the institution of higher education is located, and that
the information is entered into appropriate state records or data systems.
