The Clery Act, Campus Safety and the Views of Assault Victim Advocates
Janosik, Steven M.; Plummer, Ellen
College Student Affairs Journal, v25 n1 p116-130 Fall 2005
One hundred forty-seven directors of women's centers and advocates for assault victims responded to a questionnaire about the effectiveness of the Clery Act and their views of campus safety. The purpose of this study was to assess victim advocates' knowledge of the Act and their views of campus crime prevention strategies. The following questions guided this research: (1) How do advocates believe students use the campus crime information contained in mandated reports?; (2) What reactions do advocates have to the strategies college administrators use to inform students about campus crime issues?; and (3) What perceptions do advocates have about college administrators and their Clery-related administrative practices? Additionally, the authors describe what they know about the Act's effectiveness in meeting its stated goals. Responses were examined by institutional type, institutional size, and victim status. Institutional differences were found in several instances. (Contains 3 tables.)
