The Problem of Campus Crime

There are many myths about campus crime and unfair public opinion. The reality is that daily common property crime is much greater than violent crime on campus (Bromley, 2007, p. 280). This misunderstanding is largely due to many factors. Campus police have several police experiences. The unique aspect of campus policing is that there are influential stakeholders, such as the legislature and the Government Justice Department. As a result, campus crime is part of a new type of policing, such as community policing, and it is affected.

According to Jeanne Clery 's campus security policy and the Clery Act, university annual reports include statistics on specific crimes reported and reported within campus, certain off - campus buildings or property. Public property owned or controlled by a university or an accredited student body group, and public property in or on campus over the past three years. It also includes campus security policies such as notification to missing students, alcohol and drug use, sexual assault, human relations violence and pursuit, crime prevention, crime reporting, fire safety policy, statistical policies . All of Johns Hopkins' faculty and staff and students should read and print the report at www.jhu.edu/security/national_report.pdf and immediately report all criminal cases to their respective security agencies.

In recent years, sexual assaults on campus are increasing in the face of declining crime rates on other campuses. (Over the past few decades, all violent crime throughout the country, including more than 60% of sexual assault since 1995, has dramatically decreased.) Instead of raising incidence rate complaints. Despite reports that the rate of sexual assaults on campus has risen sharply, the original figures are still low. At the University of Chicago, the growth rate from 2011 to 2013 was 83%. From six reports to eleven reports, occupied 0.4% of undergraduate students. Carnegie Mellon University increased by 220% from 5 cases to 16 cases, accounting for 0.6% of undergraduate students. President Obama insists that only about 12% of victims of sexual assault are reported to the authorities

Sexual assault on campus is a serious problem. However, efforts to protect women from violent violence led to erroneous policies that infringe the rights of male citizens.

In 1990, in response to the rise in the crime rate at the National University campus, Congress passed the "criminal consciousness and campus security law". The law requires universities to unify campus crime data and report it to the UCR program. On April 5, 1986, when 19-year-old freshman Jeanne Clery at Lehigh University in Pennsylvania went to sleep in the dorm, she was raped and murdered. When Jenny's parents, Connie and Howard investigated the crime, they found that they did not tell the students about 38 violent crimes during the three years before Jenny was murdered. Today, all universities in the campus safety report publish criminal data for use by all students, guardians, and the general public.
