The paper examines the incidence and nature of on-campus incident-level information collected during the 1993-1994 academic year from a random sample of 3,742 students at randomly selected 4-year colleges and universities in the United States. It briefly discusses the crime prevention challenges facing campuses today because of students' lifestyles; describes what various colleges and universities have done to help prevent on-campus crime and what students have done to reduce their risk of victimization; examines the frequency and nature of on-campus victimizations, the crime prevention behavior of students, and the crime prevention programs, services and measures at selected schools.
