Five rooms in my college dormitory were broken into. How would that be classified and scored?
The Hotel Rule does not apply to dormitories, so the agency must classify and score five offenses. The Hotel Rule is explained as: Burglaries of hotels, motels, lodging houses, and other places where lodging of transients is the main purpose are scored under provisions of the Hotel Rule. This principle of scoring dictates that if a number of dwelling units under a single manager are burglarized and the offenses are most likely to be reported to the police by the manager rather than the individual tenants, the burglary must be scored as one offense (p. 62).
