Abstract
This paper reviews current research regarding fear of crime on universities campuses, with a specific focus on fear of crime among female campus constituents. Day's (1994) suggestion that many traditional campus safety initiatives aimed at reducing women's victimization and emotional fear thereof actually serve to further control and constrain university women's behaviour highlights a necessity for improved and innovative recommendations for addressing the issue of fear of crime on universities campuses, especially among women. This paper argues that university campuses must consider using practices aligned with community-oriented policing, rather than reactive policing, if they wish to understand campus constituents’ perceptions of safety and provide effective and appropriate responses.
