Security on college campuses -- and at similar high-density facilities such as hospitals and shopping malls -- can be greatly improved by using new high-definition crime mapping techniques in conjunction with community policing. This conclusion is based on new research conducted by the authors at Temple University in Philadelphia and other colleges. Notable features of this book include: * Surprising news about the types of campuses that are most and least safe from crime. * Guidelines for the most effective use of new high-density Geographic Information Systems in combination with campus crime victimization surveys. And, * Findings of dramatic decreases in assaults and other crimes at Temple University from the use of such situational crime prevention measures as improved lighting, altered landscaping, heightening student awareness of dangerous situations, controlling access to high-risk areas, and preventive patrol.
