High-profile criminal acts continue to plague United States (US) college campuses despite recent efforts to implement more aggressive risk mitigation practices, such as criminal background checks.

This article addresses some of the gaps in existing risk mitigation efforts on US college campuses and examines a relatively new incident reporting technology that is fast gaining acceptance as an additional and ongoing risk mitigation tool for these environments.
