Gun-Free Colleges describes the profile of collegiate homicide in the United States. Parents who want to know whether their child will be safe on campus will want to read this book. The book provides them with tools to examine the crime records of colleges they may be considering for their daughters and sons. Gleaned from crime data submitted in compliance with the Clery Act and public reports of those crimes, Gun-Free Colleges differs from most crime studies because results are not extrapolated survey results. This book is an inventory of every documented homicide on a U.S. college or university between 2001 and 2016-a true synthesis of data of use for the general public, policy makers, law enforcement officials, and institutional administrators. The primary, data-driven conclusion of Gun-Free Colleges is that our college campuses are not `magnets for murderers', they are sanctuaries from them! Murder on college campuses is 1,000-times less frequent than in the U.S. public at-large! Collegiate gun-safe policies are remarkably effective in limiting campus homicides and our society should be looking at these models to expand and enhance public safety.
