Vandalism: Environmental and Social Factors
Brown, Gregory; Devlin, Ann Sloan
Journal of College Student Development, v44 n4 p502-516 Jul-Aug 2003
To explore the relationship between vandalism, college residence hall size, and a number of social factors, 688 college students completed the Core Alcohol and Drug Survey (Presley, Meilman, & Lyerla, 1994), the University Residence Environment Scale (Moos, 1988), and answered questions about their television habits and athletic participation. Vandalism costs came from college repair records. Larger residence halls, those with more TV viewing, more freshmen, and less student involvement were likely to have higher vandalism costs. (Contains 2 tables.)
