Coping with Crime on Campus.
Smith, Michael Clay
A compilation, analysis and interpretation are provided of the court cases, involving crime or criminal-like behavior on college campuses, that have reached the appellate courts. The book is designed for the non-lawyer administrator. In addition, suggestions for successful administrative strategies are offered, together with checklists for evaluation of the responses of individual campuses. This material is presented in 12 chapters: "The Campus--a Sanctuary?"; "The Complexion of Campus Crime Today"; "The Concept of Crime and the Shape of Criminal Law"; "Crime and Today's Campus Decision-Maker"; "Security: Campus Cops Come of Age"; "Human Sexuality and Crime in Campus Life"; "Searching, Seizing, Confessing"; "Fraud, Thefts, Payoffs, and Other Campus Mischief"; "Alcohol and Drugs as Campus Crime"; "Firing the Miscreant Employee"; "Victims"; and "Conclusion" (including administrative overseer and crime response checklists). A 1985 statement by the American Council on Education Advisory Committee on Self-Regulation Initiatives on campus security is appended. A subject index is provided. (KM)
