Community College Campus Carry Policy Analysis
Alvarado, Joel; Toppin, Sheila
Online Submission
This study provides a policy network analysis on the implications of HB 792 and HB 280 at urban two-year open campuses, with specific attention to Georgia Piedmont Technical College (GPTC), a unit of the Technical College System of Georgia (TCSG). Georgia state legislators passed House Bills 792 and 280, which authorized any person 18 years of age or older to carry an electroshock device and firearm, respectively, on Georgia public colleges and universities effective. A mixed method research design was employed to assess crime rates and college administrator opinions on the need for the campus carry policy. Employing a policy network theory into this study provides greater clarity on how interest groups establish networks and maintain relationships with government officials to move political ideologies from the legislatures to college campuses.
