On campus violence increasing
Published by Coeus Global in Education • 4/30/2015
Life for the youth of America continues to increase in complexity at an alarming rate. It used to be that we would send our children off to college with little worry of them being subjected to the threat of violent crime.
Unfortunately, as the AP reports, this threat is increasing at an alarming rate.
Gov't report sees increase in campus violence
AP - WASHINGTON
WASHINGTON (AP) — A government report finds that targeted violence on college campuses, from serious assaults to the mass shootings at Virginia Tech in 2007, is up sharply over the last two decades.
The study by the FBI, Secret Service and Education Department found that targeted campus violence is hardly a new phenomenon, citing for example a campus murder-suicide in 1909.
The incidence of such violence rose from 40 cases in the 1980s to 79 in the 1990s and 83 since 2000.
The report says the cause for the increase is unknown, though it noted a dramatic rise in college student enrollment in the past 20 years.
Targeted violence refers to cases where attackers select a specific victim beforehand as opposed to violence that breaks out spontaneously, such as from an argument.
As this article shows, the need for colleges and universities to implement a criminal background screening on new admissions has never been greater.
A simple, low cost screening of incoming students could help to identify potential predators before they are allowed to enroll.
This is especially true for any students that will be residing in on campus housing as this is where many of these criminal acts occur.
One organization leading the way in helping to establish safe campuses for college and university students is Security on Campus ( www.securityoncampus.org ).
I would encourage any parent or student to visit their website and take advantage of the valuable information they have available.
By educating one's self you can dramatically reduce the risk of becoming the victim of a violent crime on campus.
