A compact desk manual addressing staff, student, and visitor safety on public and private college and university campuses. It provides expert advice on structuring a university police department, tips on making the most of partnering with federal and local agencies, discussion of threat assessments, insight into the Clery Act and Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act regulations, and analysis of Homeland Security concerns. It is a useful resource for those responsible for college campuses and their attorneys, as well as for police departments in college and university towns that must assess and react to threats to campus communities.
Does campus policing predominantly involve the enforcement of law or does it involve more traditional security functions such as plant protection, preventive maintenance, and the regulation of student conduct? In what ways is university policing, a form of private policing, similar to and different from the model of municipal policing? This fine study addresses these and other questions.
The purpose of this qualitative study analyzed mixed-issue campus disturbance events at three similar public universities located in the Midwest region of the United States. Using a case study research design, the analysis draws from interviews conducted with campus police officers employed at the selected institutions assigned to work one or more disturbances during the last decade. A related purpose analyzed the element of space/location and territoriality where these disturbances occurred, including an assessment of the value and meaning of space to the police and how police use space to achieve public order maintenance objectives. As the primary social control agent, the police--through their interface with crowd participants--can influence positive or negative relationships that subsequently impact disturbance outcomes. This study will support law enforcement officials in higher education with planning, developing and responding proactively to disturbances using public order policing strategies suitable for campus communities. Special emphasis is placed on the elaborated social identity model and the negotiated management model to explain police and crowd behaviors. Of value to crowd management practitioners is the critical need to interface crowd theory with practical public order policing techniques to develop an effective response.
