摘要

In the UK, university students experience crime on campus. Yet few studies have assessed students’ perceptions of safety on campus and even less have explored their perceptions of campus security practices in enhancing their safety, including perceptions of this, on campus. To address this gap, we report on a study carried out at a university in the North of England. Two-hundred and sixty-one students completed a paper-based survey across three-time points during the academic year 2022/23 to gather their feedback about campus security practices. The findings indicate that the situational crime prevention techniques that Campus Security employs are associated positively with students’ perceptions of safety. The paper recommends further measures for Campus Security to focus on.
