Riassunto

Campus crime drew national attention as evidenced by the enactment of the 1990 Campus Security Act, a law requiring colleges and universities to report crime and develop improved security programs. Although some campus administrations have complied with legal mandates, many have not yet developed a broad-based, comprehensive approach to creating a safe campus. The first three chapters of this book are designed to offer college and university officials a realistic view of today's campus environment. The author presents issues and threats which impact the campus community and its students. Remaining chapters offer practical recommendations which are presented in terms of critical components for creating a safe campus. This timely guide was written for campus officials at varying types and sizes of institutions to include public or private, urban or rural, four-year or two-year, commuter or residential, liberal arts or technical, professional or undergraduate. It will serve student affairs professionals, campus judicial officers, housing personnel, campus police/security officials, faculty, and university administrators in their efforts to create a safe campus. It is the author's hope that his book will contribute to the recognition and acceptance of sound principles and practices that will enhance the quality of life on campuses across the nation.
