THE MODEL IS DEVELOPED WITH CRIME DATA FROM THE FEDERAL BUREAU OF INVESTIGATION'S 1975 UNIFORM CRIME REPORTS; BUDGET DATA, STUDENT POPULATION, AND OTHER DATA SUPPLIED BY THE SECURITY DEPARTMENTS OF 38 UNIVERSITIES; AND UNEMPLOYMENT DATA FROM THE BUREAU OF LABOR STATISTICS. OF THE INDEPENDENT VARIABLES TESTED, THE PROPORTION OF STUDENTS LIVING IN DORMITORIES AND PROXIMITY TO URBAN AREAS WITH HIGH UNEMPLOYMENT INFLUENCE THE AMOUNT OF CRIME ON CAMPUS, WHICH IN TURN IS AN IMPORTANT DETERMINANT OF CAMPUS SECURITY EXPENDITURES. THE FINDINGS SUGGEST THAT CLOSING CAMPUSES TO NONSTUDENT LIKELY WOULD REDUCE CRIME RATES, BUT AT THE COST OF A GREAT DEAL OF PERSONAL FREEDOM ASSOCIATED WITH LIFE IN THE CAMPUS COMMUNITY. ALTHOUGH PREVENTION MEASURES BY POTENTIAL VICTIMS MIGHT BE ENCOURAGED BY CAMPUS SECURITY OFFICES, MANY SECURITY OFFICES REPORTED THAT CAMPUS INDIFFERENCE TO CRIME WAS A MAJOR PROBLEM. DETAILS OF THE ANALYSIS AND A LIST OF REFERENCES ARE PROVIDED. (LKM)
