A total of 227 questionnaires were completed. Generally, the men believed their campus was relatively safe, while the women indicated that they were relatively concerned over safety. Both men and women apparently believed the PUPD had inadequate resources for investigating and resolving serious criminal incidents. A total of 68 students said they had received help or assistance from the PUPD, while 5 students indicated they had been arrested by them. Students expressed at least moderately favorable perceptions of the PUPD, whether measured by items concerning job effectiveness or by items concerning an effective response to the PUPD. Black students were more likely than white students to believe that the PUPD maintained good relations on campus. Although student perceptions were favorable overall, they did vary somewhat, being influenced by such factors as personal background and being the recipient of traffic tickets issued by the campus police. 5 tables, 3 notes, and 11 references.
