The school year is fast approaching and with the start of school brings a large number of incoming freshmen to the countries Colleges and Universities. To most families this is a joyous occasion, but can also be an intimidating endeavor to some. Each year and at every facility of higher learning campus crimes such as rape, robbery, and assualt are in the news. Not only does a student have the responsibility of taking their education to a higher level, it is also their responsibility to prepare for their safety while away at school.
College campus safety tips can help students go through their college years with confidence. Living on a college campus is the first taste of independent living for many young adults, and these tips will help them to protect themselves and their belongings while there.
Any student who alleges that a sexual offense has been committed against him/her has the right to file a complaint. If the offense occurred on campus, the individual should notify Campus Police and/or the Dean of Students or a staff member at the Center for Personal Development. If the assault occurred off campus, the individual should file a report with the appropriate law enforcement agency.
Sexual assault is the commission of an unwanted sexual act, whether by an acquaintance or by a stranger, that occurs without indication or consent of both individuals that occurs under threat or coercion. Sexual assault can occur either forcibly and/or against a person’s will, or when a person is incapable of giving consent. A person is legally incapable of giving consent if under 18 years of age; if intoxicated by drugs and/or alcohol; is developmentally disabled; or if temporarily mentally or physically unable to do so. Anyone can be the target of sexual assault of a sexual assault, regardless of age, gender, race, ethnicity, sexual orientation, sexual history, or social class.
In most sexual assaults, the victim and suspect knew each other prior to the assault. Knowing someone does not guarantee a sexual assault will not occur. Sexual assault on female students is a main issue of concern on college campuses across the nation. One in four female students is sexually assaulted on campus and nine out of ten victims knew their assaulter. Although women are more likely to be sexually assaulted, 10% of all sexual assaults and rapes happen to men.
Unfortunately sexual assaults occur on college campuses, so try to avoid being a victim. Females should carry pepper spray with them, and stick with friends when at parties or out for a night on the town.
The vast majority of sexual assaults are committed by someone known to the victim. Not walking alone late at night isn’t going to do a damn thing about those cases; in fact in several cases I have read about, the perpetrator used the woman’s fear of walking home alone at night as a way to get her into his car or himself invited into her apartment. Similarly, only accepting drinks from people you know isn’t going to help you if the person you know is the person who is a danger to you. So here are some tips for how we can make campuses safer, focused on stopping the perpetrators, not scaring women.
While most victims of sexual assault are women, some men are also victims. Male victims at Ivy Tech Community College receive the same services as women. Emotional support, counseling about options, information about resources related to legal issues and medical treatment are available to assist all those recovering from sexual assault.
Personal safety is an equally important consideration, especially for women. Sexual assaults are more likely to happen in residential environments like a dorm room, according to the University of Pittsburgh’s police department. One in 10 college females is raped in her lifetime. For those reasons, it’s important to avoid drinking excessively, since alcohol use is a factor in 90 percent of campus assaults. Follow your school’s guest policy, which may require getting permission to admit guests into the building, and — in some cases — escort them while they’re on campus.
If you’re heading to college to get your degree, you’ve got to take care of yourself. College campus crime is real and varied, from petty theft to sexual assault to drunk driving. Always conduct yourself with respect, and always be mindful of your surroundings.
Security isn’t a concern for students arriving on college campuses, who tend to see dormitory living as a temporary arrangement. In reality, however, students are more vulnerable than they realize. Failure to protect yourself or your valuables can make you a target for assault, burglary or theft. Keeping tabs on your surroundings is also important, since criminals typically act when victims appear too casual to care about what’s happening around them.
If something does not feel right, change directions, go to an emergency phone, into a public building, or call Campus Security from an emergency phone. Just press the blue button for Security. Talk into the speaker. Give your exact location and the nature of your concerns.
