The recent shootings at Virginia Tech brought issues surrounding campus violence to the forefront once again. But campuses have always had problems with stalking, sexual harassment, bullying, rape, robbery, burglary, and intimate partner violence, among other things. In fact, the incidence rates of campus violence are quite startling. For example, the incidence of sexual harassment among undergraduate students ranges between 20 and 80 percent each year. Between 8 and 15 percent of college women say they have been raped. And battering occurs in up to a third of all couples in dating relationships in the U.S. Fortunately, there are solutions to the problem of campus violence. In Understanding and Preventing Campus Violence, Michele Paludi and a host of experts detail preventive procedures as well as methods to stay safer on campus.In Understanding and Preventing Campus Violence, experts in law, HR/employment policy, psychology, criminal justice, and education offer sage, real-world advice to campus administrators, parents, students and employees on how to prevent and manage campus violence. It offers insights into the reasons behind violent acts, prevention techniques, methods students can use to protect themselves, and therapeutic techniques for the following types of violence: -Bullying -Sexual harassment -Cyberstalking and cyberharassment -Intimate partner violence -Rape -Homicide -Robberies and other violent crimes The book also addresses the legal responsibilities of schools, as well as the psychological fallout on people in the aftermath of violence. Featuring interviews with student-victims, and providing sample policies and training programs, Understanding and Preventing Campus Violence will help students learn to spot situations of potential violence, help teachers use classroom excercises to raise awareness and prevent future violence, and help college administrators and managers learn to safeguard the people and assets in their care.

Recensioner i media

The recent episodes of campus violence in the US have received much media attention and have permanently etched in the minds of millions of Americans fear that campuses, once thought to be safe, are no longer havens from violence. In this timely volume, editor Paludi brings together a multidisciplinary group of contributors to codify and make orderly sense of the research on campus violence; demonstrate the importance of and methods to communicate with the campus community on this issue; and advise on dealing with and preventing campus violence. There is so much valuable information contained in these pages it is difficult to point to a single idea. Perhaps at the top of this reviewer's list would be the excellent discussion of institutional policy and policy implementation. The materials presented in the text are well documented, the arguments are thorough, and the editor's message is clear--campuses need to come to grips with violence of all sorts….Paludi's volume is practically required reading for higher education administrators, campus leadership across the board, and those seeking answers to violence in general. Highly recommended. All academic collections.
