Abstract

Increasingly in recent years, serious crime has emerged as a phenomenon on American college campuses (Time, 1973). Factors such as the increased crime rate in the United States, the increased heterogeneity of the college student population, and the greater openness of the college campus have resulted in more and varied crimes on college campuses, e.g., sexual assault, theft, and vandalism (Middleton, 1981). Rape on college campuses, once unheard of, is now commonplace (Thomas, 1978, Mehreu, 1983, Dowd, 1983). American colleges and universities had had little experience with crime, and were ill prepared to deal with it.
