Campus crime is a safety issue, a financial issue, and even a marketing issue, influencing decisions by students and their parents as to where, when, and how a higher education will be acquired. As the rate of crime increases, victim lawsuits become more commonplace, and yet campus legal responsibilities are often vague. This volume includes sections on: (1) sex crime; (2) computer crime and how campuses are affected; (3) the latest court rulings and legislation that directly affect higher education; (4) the Student Right-to-Know and Campus Security Act; (5) lawsuits, liability, and risk management; (6) buildings, grounds, and campus crime; (7) the miscreant employee; and (8) responses to a crime incident. The authors discuss legal precedents and the actual cases from which they were drawn, strategies for reducing or preventing crimes, and guidelines and policies regarding search and seizure, theft, vandalism, and fraud. They also include special checklists that can be used to evaluate current procedures and defuse potential problems. Table of cases, notes, index
