Blue Lights and Pepper Spray: Cisgender College Women's Perceptions of Campus Safety and Implications of the "Stranger Danger" Myth
Linder, Chris; Lacy, Marvette
Journal of Higher Education, v91 n3 p433-454 2020
Through a case study including focus groups with 32 cisgender women and document analysis of campus newspaper and websites, we highlight ways college women navigate multiple and conflicting messages about campus safety and sexual violence on campus. Although students are aware of statistics indicating most sexual violence happens between two people who know each other, they still engage in safety strategies related to stranger danger. We highlight implications related to messaging about campus safety and sexual violence on campuses.
