ABSTRACT
This study provides a comprehensive overview of the causes, impacts, and prevention methods of campus crime, laying
a foundation for future exploration of campus crime. This article summarizes existing research on campus crime and
draws connections from crime in general and applies it to the context of campus crime. The definition, types, and recent
rate of campus crime are presented in the study. This study highlights childhood experiences, certain victim
characteristics, and institutional settings as well as environmental factors as major causes of campus crime. Multiple
theories and results from existing experiments are referenced in support. The impact of campus crime focuses on the
well-being and social functioning of student victims, as well as their later academic achievement. Following the risk
factors discussed, several methods of prevention are demonstrated. This study concludes by pointing out drawbacks and
gaps in current research and suggesting more specific areas for future examination.
Keywords: Campus crime; Causes; Impacts; Preventions
1. INTRODUCTION
Campus crime has been a long-standing type of crime
throughout history. Campus crime refers to the violence
and criminal behaviors occurred on college or university
campuses. Different types of campus crime range from
trivial to serious in terms of severity, including arson,
homicide, robbery, aggravated assault, burglary, weapon,
drug abuse, sex offenses, hate crimes, smoking, and
alcohol use/abuse [1]. In 2018, approximately 28,500
criminal incidents were reported on postsecondary
education campuses in the United States. Within these
cases, 12,300 were classified as forcible sex offenses
(43%), 9,600 were burglary (34%), 3100 were motor
vehicle thefts (11%), 2,200 were aggravated assaults
(8%), and 800 were robberies (3%) [2].
Although the frequency of campus crime decreased
from 2009 to 2018, the number of reported campus
crimes increased by 8 percent in the short term from 2014
to 2017, along with a rise in public concerns [2].
Although on-campus crime is a prevalent phenomenon
across all demographics, it is only in recent days that
researchers and government officials have begun to focus
on and explore the causes, characteristics, and solutions
of campus crime. Many existing studies have suggested
social and environmental factors as leading causes to the
formation of on-campus criminal behaviors. However,
childhood experience, as the important component in all
types of crime, has yet to be mentioned. In addition, there
is limited research on the impact of campus crime on
students beyond property and bodily damages. Such
topics are more broadly emphasized in general crimes,
without specific linkage to campus crime. Likewise, the
development of approaches to campus crime prevention
requires more exploration to effectively counteract risk
factors.
This study aims to integrate existing research on on-
campus crime and make logical connections with other
related studies to provide a comprehensive overview of
campus crime. The content will provide new insights into
future investigations into the impact and potential
prevention methods of crime on campus. The first part of
the study is dedicated to identifying the causes and risk
factors of on-campus crime from aspects of childhood
background, victim’s characteristics, and school
environment. The second part focuses on the impacts of
campus crime on students. The final section will
elaborate on existing and potential prevention measures
for campus crime corresponding to the contributing
factors discussed in the first section, as well as
highlighting further implications.
2. LITERATURE REVIEW
2.1. Definition of Crime
Crime exists in any social context and has significant
impacts on the functioning of both individuals and

society as a whole. It is defined as a punishable act that
violates social norms and national laws [3]. Crime is an
anti-social behavior disapproved by society. As a
common type of crime that can involve a wide range of
criminal activities, campus crime is discussed in the
study.
2.2. Causes
2.2.1. Childhood Experience
Childhood is a critical period for a person's cognitive,
personality, and behavioral development. Numerous
studies have demonstrated a connection between
childhood abuse and adult criminal behavior. In a study
conducted by Zhang and Zheng, they sampled 1,001
incarcerated Chinese men and found that 61.5% of the
subjects have received minimal maltreatment, 26.6% has
experienced low abuse and high neglect, and 7.8% has
been subjected to high physical and emotional
maltreatment in childhood [4]. The results showed a
strong correlation between childhood abuse and the
development of criminal behavior. Therefore, as a
common type of crime, campus crime can be explained
in the context of early childhood background. Having
identified childhood experiences as a risk factor for
campus crime, the following section will be discussing it
by applying a variety of theories.
2.2.1.1. Social Learning Theory
Albert Bandura’s social learning theory suggests that
the victims who have received or witnessed abuse at a
young age learn aggressive behaviors through
observation and emulation. Often time, without being
fully aware of the negative consequences of violence,
children tend to perceive it as a mechanism to obtain
positive outcomes such as emotional release or material
acquisition, which reinforces their learning process of
criminal behaviors [5]. Long-standing criminal
tendencies can be easily translated into a campus
environment against others.
2.2.1.2. Frustration-Aggression Theory
Frustration-Aggression Theory recognizes frustrated
emotion as the central cause of aggressive behaviors. The
presence of frustration always yields aggression in
different forms [6]. An experiment conducted by
Hokanson, Burgess, and Cohen was in correspondence to
this theory-- frustrated subjects appealed to be more
aggressive than others [7]. If an individual continues to
be frustrated by surroundings throughout his or her entire
childhood, such as being neglected by parents or being
constantly abused, then it is more likely that he or she
will translate the emotion into a force of violence against
others in the future.
2.2.1.3. Erik Erikson's Stages of Psychosocial
Development
According to the Stages of Psychosocial
Development proposed by Erik Erikson, a person
undergoes several critical stages throughout their life,
and a failure to achieve the developmental task at one
stage will lead to struggles in later life. From age 13 to
21, people face the “Identity VS. Role Confusion” crisis.
This stage is also the period when an individual begins to
pursue higher education. At this point, young people
strive to explore their self-identity and life purpose
through actively seeking opportunities to express
themselves and establishing trustable caring
relationships with others [8]. However, when adolescents
fail to carry out sufficient self-expressions to locate an
appropriate self-position in society, they suffer an
identity crisis, in which in response to the crisis, they tend
to establish sub-cultures to fill the gap created by role
confusion [8]. Without proper guidance, people are
susceptible to adhere to deviant and delinquent behaviors,
leading to a commitment to campus crime.
2.2.1.4. Self-Defence Mechanism
The self-defense mechanism is another factor closely
related to child development. A self-defense mechanism
is a psychological response that protects people from
distress and perceived threats. There are potential links
between self-defense mechanisms with a person’s
“attachment styles, personality traits, stages of ego
development, and proneness to different personality
disorders” [9]. Thus, children who suffer maltreatment
when they are young and more likely to unconsciously
utilize self-defense mechanisms to cope with anxiety and
negative feelings, which may impair their personality
and ego development over time, giving rise to a criminal
tendency on campus.
2.2.2. Victim’s Characteristics
Several studies have highlighted characteristics that
make individuals more susceptible to falling into
victimhood of campus crime. Students who constantly
party at night and consume recreational drugs are
exposed to a higher risk of becoming the targets of
violent crime, as it increases their contact with
perpetrators and hazardous situations. Alcohol
consumption, as well, acts as an important risk factor for
becoming a victim. Data shows that the majority of
reported school crimes, especially suicide, rape/sexual
assault, and physical assault, involve drug and alcohol
intake [10].
Another factor that increases the chance of
victimization is a temporal dimension to campus crime—
routine [11]. College students often have a set of
consistent routines throughout the week such as
attending classes at a fixed schedule. Students’ routines
Advances in Social Science, Education and Humanities Research, volume 670
722
make their behavior patterns and presence more
predictable, which creates the opportunity for deliberate
crime. Hence, a student’s routine can be attributed as a
leading explanatory factor for non-random victimization
that occurs at some specific time or location. In addition,
the students who live in all-male or coed dorms, have
high expenditure on non-essentials, participate in a
fraternity/sorority are at increased risk of theft [11].
In 2018, about 814 incidents of on-campus crime
were categorized as hate crime causes [1]. Racial
discrimination is one of the main motivations behind hate
crime. Research has shown that a one percent increase in
the number of black students on campus quintuples to a
total increase of 5.1 violent crimes per 100,000 students
[12]. This study concludes that a higher number of
African American students is often associated with a
higher victimization rate on campus.
Moreover, the risk factor of certain types of crime is
closely related to the experience of prior victimization
[13]. People who have previous rape history, especially
in childhood, are exposed to a greater risk of subsequent
victimization that may occur in adulthood. Past research
has discovered that two-thirds of women with prior
experience of sexual victimization have been sexually
assaulted multiple times. On school campuses, 23% of
rape victims experienced more than one sexual offense
in a year [13].
2.2.3. Institution Environment and
Characteristics
Based on the ecological theory in criminology,
human delinquent behavior is the product of interaction
with the surrounding environment. This framework
highlights the social structure and physical setting of
postsecondary institutions as the underlying causes of
campus crime.
One of the characteristic that makes campus crime
prevalent and easily achievable is the spatial dispersion
of campuses [11]. Many colleges and universities are
designed s park-like areas with limited barriers, allowing
people to freely enter or leave. It increases offenders’
access to approach their targets and engage in more
different patterns of crime. The school campuses are
segmented by buildings designated for specific purposes
like research, instruction, and student residence [11].
Some specific uses of lands increase the possibility of
crime or victimization as they draw both the offenders
and victims together [14]. For example, parking lots are
a high-incidence location for motor vehicle theft, while
sexual assaults mostly occur in dormitories.
Moreover, there appears to be a correlation between
the proximity of the campus to areas with high
unemployment and campus crime rate [10]. There are
two historical schools of thought examining the
unemployment-crime relationship “supply of offenses”
and “supply of victims” [15]. High unemployment is
accompanied by poorer economic status and fewer
available opportunities, which reduces the opportunity
cost of choosing a criminal activity. Therefore, people
are more likely to engage in illegitimate activities to seek
potential payoffs. At the same time, however, low
employment levels are associated with a proportional
decline in the production and consumption of new goods
[15], leading to fewer incentives and benefits to crime.
Without a sufficient supply of suitable victims, the
motivated perpetrators may shift their attention to
campus students in search of targets. As a result,
campuses near locations of high unemployment may
generate more crime on campus.
In Volkwein’s research, he compared campus and
community crime data of 390 institutions. He identified
that two-year institutions that do not provide student
residence have the lowest violent and property crime
rates. Conversely, medical schools and health science
centers, which take longer to complete and have wealthy
personnel and expensive equipment, appear to have the
highest rates of crime, especially property crime [12].
Their characteristics constitute the perfect victim for
criminals. As Volkwein has demonstrated with another
example, school campuses that have above-average per
capita income and library resources tend to attract more
violent crime [12]. Therefore, it can be concluded that
institutions with more advanced infrastructure and
affluent social groups are more vulnerable to campus
crime.
In addition to the physical settings directly associated
with the formation of crime, there are physical or social
objects that alert people to potential criminal
victimization that might happen, referred to as
‘incivilities’ [13]. The existence of these objects violates
the community standards, norms, and values. For
example, signs of vandalism and abandoned cars may
indicate to people the possibility of victimization. People
tend to have a heightened fear of crime when they see
incivilities in their surroundings [16]. The atmosphere of
the institution also determines criminal patterns.
Colleges that have a party atmosphere raise the
possibility of crime, particularly sexual-related offenses
[13].
2.3. Impacts
2.3.1. Fear of Victimization
Nowadays, incidences of campus crime are reported
more frequently on new. This has led to a rising fear of
victimization among parents and students. Going back in
time, researchers discovered that there was a significant
increase in numbers of students panicking about on-
campus attacks and avoiding certain areas in their
schools between 1989 to 1995 [16]. In 2011, researchers
reported that the rate of sexual assault victimization is
Advances in Social Science, Education and Humanities Research, volume 670
723
growing rapidly on college campuses. Rape is the most
feared type of crime by college women around the world.
In the United States, it is considered the most severe and
underreported crime [13]. Despite government efforts to
mitigate the high frequency of sexual assault through
policies and social programs, they have not brought
down the incidences. A heightened level of fear for crime
and victimization on campus inevitably impairs people’s
health condition as well as life quality, which will be
discussed in the next two sections.
2.3.2. Health and Social Functioning
Crime victimization is associated with changes in
normal functioning that significantly detriments people’s
quality of life. In addition to physical injury or material
loss, victims often experience cognitive changes after
victimization, followed by a range of psychological and
cognitive impairments that ultimately disrupt people’s
lives [17].
Approximately half of the violent crime victims
suffer moderate to extreme distress, leading to
depression, hostility, avoidance, alienation, and anxiety.
Other psychological effects involve fear, humiliation,
embarrassment, anger, and some physical symptoms that
come along, such as nausea and muscles tension [17].
Post-traumatic stress disorder is a mental disorder
identified by many clinical researchers as a common
outcome of crime victimization [17]. These
psychological traumas are associated with interpersonal
attachment, social withdrawal, alcohol/drug abuse,
hypervigilance, sleep disturbance, intrusive memories
acute symptoms of depression, and many other
disruptions [17]. More serious crimes tend to exacerbate
a victim's experience with these disorders. As two types
of crime that are prevalent on all college campuses,
sexual assault is more serious than burglary and thus
causes a greater degree of disruption to students' lives.
For example, college female victims of rape self-reported
negative changes in their self-schema, eating disorders,
chronic pain, anxiety, depression, and friction in social,
work, and home environments [18].
Moreover, cognitive changes resulting from
victimization predispose individuals to memory
problems, concentration deficits, decision-making
difficulties, disorientation, and increased susceptibility
to social influence [17]. As a result, they prevent students
from regularly solving and coping with different issues
and relationships, both of which are fundamental skills
needed to be successful in college and later in life.
Under the impacts of these psychological and
cognitive impairments, crime victims undergo difficulty
integrating into social life. They tend to have lower levels
of satisfaction with life and minimize their leisure
activities or connections with society [19]. In a study by
Nadelson and several other researchers, they discovered
that more than half of rape victims continued to limit
social interactions 15 to 30 months after being assaulted
[19]. The impairment in social engagement is adverse to
people’s recovery and participation in society. An
adequate amount of connection with the community is
crucial for college students since this is the stage where
they begin to explore their roles and identity.
2.3.3. Academic Performances
As described in the previous section, crime
victimization and fear have devastating effects on a
person’s health and cognitive functioning. These effects
subsequently result in victims’ poorer academic
performances. Individuals who have experienced violent
offenses or sexual assault on their postsecondary
campuses reported a noticeable decrease in school
attendance, quality of work, and overall grades. For
example, one study showed that 14.3% of female
students who were raped in their first semester of college
had a GPA of less than 2.5 by the end of their second
semester, compared to 5.9% for female students who
were not raped [18]. This statistic demonstrates a
negative correlation between academic achievement and
crime victimization. The inability to perform normal
functional skills and suffering from mental disorders are
challenges that victims need to overcome. Fear of
possible campus crime has also been shown to hinder
student achievement in school, as it increases the stress
and anxiety of being a potential victim [18].
2.4. Preventions
2.4.1. Early Education
This study has discussed how exposure to violence
and maltreatment in childhood contribute to the
formation of crime. Such causes can be targeted using
developmental crime prevention, where researchers
identify the risk factors and implement specific
prevention methods to counteract them [20]. For
example, four types of programs have been tested to be
very successful, including parent education, parent
management training, child skills training, and preschool
intellectual enrichment programs. They take the forms of
individual and family programs; general parent
education; preschool programs; daycare programs;
parent management training; skills training; peer
programs; school programs; and community programs
[20]. Each of the prevention methods listed above targets
early childhood development and education and aims to
reduce the chance of abuse or any risk factors for crime.
They have each been tested in a longitude study by
different researchers. The results showed that groups that
participated in any of these programs were less likely to
exhibit violent or criminal tendencies. At the same time,
they are more likely to achieve higher grades and earn
higher incomes than groups without preschool
Advances in Social Science, Education and Humanities Research, volume 670
724
educational programs [20]. Therefore, effective early
education is very important to establish an appropriate
developmental stage for individuals to prevent them from
committing a crime on campus in the future.
2.4.2. Governmental Policy
Effective governmental policy is the foundation to
solving the rapidly growing crime rate on campus. In the
United States, there is federal legislation named the
Jeanne Clery Disclosure of Campus Security Policy and
Campus Crime Statistics Act [11]. This act requires
institutions of higher education in the United States to
disclose campus security information for the campus and
surrounding areas to increase crime awareness and safety.
Congress has allocated funds to the Federal Office of
Violence against Women to establish rape/sexual assault
education and precaution programs to work with campus
and advocacy organizations [11].
2.4.3. School Policy
In response to the presence of legislative mandates
and stricter guidelines, secondary institutions have
become more active in promoting campus safety.
Approximately 64% of higher education institutions
prevent people from entering their academic buildings at
night or on weekends [21]. Most schools have improved
their campus security arrangements with more advanced
technology. Some colleges or universities have increased
the availability of on-campus transportation services for
school members to travel around campus without any
costs. Other schools have applied “blue light” emergency
phones that connect directly to campus police or security
to ensure timely assistance [11]. Redesigning the school
campus and buildings is also a method used by many
institutions to reduce the chance of victimization.
Additionally, many schools are offering educational
programs during freshman orientation to increase
students' awareness and knowledge about sexual
violence. Some even incorporate bystander intervention
training to teach students how to cope with witnessed
crime. [11] Preventive measures taken by schools are
critical to eliminating crime on campus; therefore,
schools are encouraged to continue to assess campus
safety and devise effective prevention plans.
2.4.4. Campus Design
Campus safety is closely related to the design of the
campus environment. Therefore, several studies have
examined the security features in the landscape and
suggested implementation plans for crime prevention,
using the concept of “Crime Prevention Through
Environmental Design” (CPTED) [22].
Newman’s defensible space theory proposed three
fundamental principles in CPTED: access control,
surveillance, and territorial reinforcement [22]. Access
control acts upon the use of strategies such as guards and
locks to restrict unauthorized user access. Surveillance
strategies aim to unveil suspicious persons. For example,
schools can enhance lighting and add windows. A higher
risk of being seen will limit the occurrence of crime.
Working together with access control and surveillance,
strengthening a school's sense of territory can increase
security awareness and discourage criminals [22].
Furthermore, CPTED has been summarized into nine
major strategies that can be applied to the environmental
setting design to minimize the on-campus crime rate. For
example, provide a clear border definition of controlled
space, offer marked transitional zones, relocate gathering
areas, place safe activities in unsafe locations, re-
designate the use of space to provide natural barriers,
improve scheduling of space, re-design or revamp space
to increase the perception of natural surveillance, and
overcome distance and isolation [22]. These guidelines
provide insights for postsecondary school institutions in
designing campuses for effective crime prevention.
3. LIMITATIONS AND FUTURE
IMPLICATIONS
Although a lot of research has been done on crime
topics, they are not specific to campus crime. The
formation process of on-campus aggressive behavior
remains to be investigated. The childhood experience
discussed in this study as a risk factor for campus crime
is based on research on crime in general. To yield more
accurate conclusions, more direct correlations with
campus crime should be explored. Additionally, the lack
of comprehensive and recent campus crime data remains
a challenge to uncover patterns of campus crime.
Therefore, educational institutions should report their
crime figures in a timely and truthful manner, to conduct
a more in-depth examination of campus crime and
develop more solid prevention methods.
Compared to other types of crime, campus crime is a
relatively under-studied area. In addition to the lack of
direct correlation between existing crime studies and
campus crime, many variables and factors are awaiting
to be discussed. For example, academic majors largely
determine and reflect an individual's schedule and
personality. Some student majors may be more
vulnerable to campus crime. However, limited research
has touched on this potential association and thus should
be of interest to future scholars.
Moreover, due to insufficient findings of on-campus
crime, more effective preventive measures could not be
discovered. Most researchers identified only a few
potential risk factors for campus crime but did not link
them to how they framed criminal motives.
Understanding the correlation of cause and motivation
will suggest solutions to campus crime. Therefore, future
research could target the motives behind student offenses.
Advances in Social Science, Education and Humanities Research, volume 670
725
Furthermore, since campus crime victimization is proven
to have a lot of long-term negative impacts on individuals,
researchers should consider ways to mitigate the harms.
While seeking effective prevention is important to
improve student safety and public health, post-
victimization remediation and support measures are
equally significant. Therefore, researchers should work
with clinics and other organizations to develop programs
or approaches to help student victims overcome
challenges brought by victimization and recover from
mental distress.
4. CONCLUSION
Against the background of frequent incidents of
campus violence in post-secondary institutions around
the world, the discussion and emphasis on on-campus
crime in today's society is continuously increasing.
However, research about the specific characteristics,
formations, and subsequent costs of campus crime
remains limited, which prevents the implementation of
an effective prevention plan. This study primarily
summarizes existing research on the topic of campus
crime and provides insights into additional potential
aspects by drawing a connection between campus crime
and crime in general. The causes, impacts, and
prevention methods of campus crime are highlighted,
providing a detailed overview of campus crime. The role
of childhood experiences specifically in campus crime is
one of the major new insights raised in this study. The
study also suggests areas of deficiency that need further
exploration. Current studies on crime can act as a
groundwork for further specific research on campus
crime. Ensuring the safety and healthy development of
students is crucial to the progress of society as a whole.

ABSTRACT
This study provides a comprehensive overview of the causes, impacts, and prevention methods of campus crime, laying
a foundation for future exploration of campus crime. This article summarizes existing research on campus crime and
draws connections from crime in general and applies it to the context of campus crime. The definition, types, and recent
rate of campus crime are presented in the study. This study highlights childhood experiences, certain victim
characteristics, and institutional settings as well as environmental factors as major causes of campus crime. Multiple
theories and results from existing experiments are referenced in support. The impact of campus crime focuses on the
well-being and social functioning of student victims, as well as their later academic achievement. Following the risk
factors discussed, several methods of prevention are demonstrated. This study concludes by pointing out drawbacks and
gaps in current research and suggesting more specific areas for future examination.
