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.
