Recenzii
"The job of keeping campuses safe has become increasingly complicated in a diverse climate, and this book is meant to make sure college and university staff are up to the challenges. In the wake of the recent violence surrounding campus protests, this book offers timely advice on handling hate crimes and confronting discrimination on campus, as well as on other safety issues, such as binge drinking and sexual harassment. It offers perspectives on different types of institutions and provides guidelines for administrators, faculty and policy makers."

"The authors and editors have approached this topic with a plan that seems to work for introducting the suprising array of concerns that impinge upon campus safety. Few stones are left unturned as they pursue this agenda, with adequate coverage of personal, institutional, and societal concerns. The readers comes away witha fairly clear sense of the problem and related issues, as well as sufficient suggestions for what to do about them....recommend that campus administrators place this on their desks sooner rather than later."
Journal of Higher Education
"[The] editors tackle the complex issues of safety at America's multiple and diverse college campuses. They note the significance of institutional type, location, and student composition in shaping the campus environment and the influence these factors have on developing a safe campus environment. This is an extraordinary undertaking (to address standards of safety while acknowledging and accounting for institutional difference), but the editors and respective authors of the 14 chapters of this work do justice to the task.
College administrators, especially those in student affairs, should rely on this work to stimulate their thinking about routine safety practices. Administrators should also refresh their thinking and renew their commitment to working as institutioinal officers with others across the campus charged with monitoring the well-being of the campus community."
Creating and Maintaining Safe College Campuses reminds its readers that safety is an evolving and complex dynamic. Efforts to insure personal safety must contemplate the complexity of each individual and the community at large. The editors and authors have done a superb job of reminding us of this and our campuses will be safer because of it."
The Journal of College Student Development
"Almost everyone knows about the hidden underbelly of campus life, but until now it had not been comprehensively examined from different perspectives. The contributors to this book do a great service by charting the territory and offering many sound ideas for ensuring student safety."
George D. Kuh, Ph.D., Chancellor’s Professor; Director of the Indiana University Center for Postsecondary Research
"Outstanding! This is the first word for the new book by Dr. Jerlando F.L. Jackson and Dr. Melvin Cleveland Terrell that consolidates the views of the best experts in America today, clearly and concisely stating the case for re-focusing efforts on creating and maintaining campus safety. The authors’ thorough discussions center on the most current data, issues, problems and concerns, making this a must-read for all stakeholders in higher education."
Larry D. Bolles, Director, Judicial Affairs, Northern Illinois University
"University and college leaders have an opportunity to use this tool to explore the important issues facing our campuses today. Depending on the circumstances, they can use the chapters that most apply to their situation in order to receive current information. In addition, this book frames the issues with great understanding of the complex nature of young adults, the campus environment, and the growing challenges of safety in America. It can serve as a great reference, the basis for discussion and action, while at the same time serving as a benchmarking tool all in one."
Susan Riseling, Associate Vice Chancellor/Police Chief, University of Wisconsin; Vice President at Large, International Association of Chiefs of Police
"Drs. Jackson and Terrell’s book provides college student educators and other stakeholders with a compelling list of reasons why creating and maintaining a safe campus is of paramount importance. This book not only frames the campus safety movement, but it also challenges us to look at our institutional cultures that sustain and support these negative behaviors. More importantly, this book provides its readers with the ideas and best practices to help campuses galvanize current resources and maximize the return on their future investments."
