Violence, hate crimes, theft, drug possession, sexual harassment,
concealed weapons, underage drinking, rape - along with many other
major and minor offenses - plague all campuses. College and
university staff, administrators and policy makers are under
increasing parental and legislative pressure to demonstrate they
have adopted measures to prevent crime and keep students safe. This
book serves as a sourcebook to enhance and evaluate safety
programs, generate new solutions and interventions, comply with new
legislation, and present practical steps and guidelines to
establish best practices. This book pays particular attention to
the factors that may give rise to crime. It considers high-risk
drinking and examines the intersection between hate crimes and
violence. It devotes chapters to discrimination in all its forms -
whether against international students, students of color, or on
the basis of ethnicity or sexual orientation. It reviews the range
of issues relating to harassment and violence against women and
engages with hazing and the presence of guns on campus. The authors
pay attention to the different circumstances that may apply in
specific institutional types, such as community colleges and
minority-serving institutions. The book offers perspectives from
administrators, campus security, student affairs personnel, faculty
and policy makers as well as a review of legal considerations. The
purpose is to provide readers with the context and tools to devise
a comprehensive safety plan. For administrators operating with few
formal support systems, advice is given on how to co-opt
individuals and resources from around the campus to assist in the
common goal of maintaining a safe and welcoming campus.

Focusing on pre-K-12 schools, higher education, and social
influences, this book examines the following question: What
systemic set of strategies is necessary to improve the conditions
for African Americans throughout the educational
pipeline?Comprehensive in its approach to representing the
educational experiences of African Americans over the life course,
this book fills an important gap in the literature. - James Earl
Davis, coeditor of African American Males in School and Society:
Practices and Policies for Effective EducationJerlando F. L.
Jackson accomplishes the difficult task of helping us understand
the complexities involved in getting the African American student
from school to the workplace. While seemingly simple, the
multiplicity of factors which emerge and impact the educational
process must be understood by researchers, policy makers, and
educators as we all become partners in the process to improve the
conditions and experiences of African Americans in education.
Jackson provides us with manageable ways to learn and begin to
understand the systemic implications of this process in his book. -
Barbara M. Pulliam, Superintendent, Clayton County Schools,
Jonesboro, GeorgiaThis volume provides an important window to the
pipeline problem. It also offers some viable solutions. If we do
the work it challenges us to do, then we hope that the next
generation will have no need for a book that calls for
strengthening the pipeline. - from the Foreword by Gloria
Ladson-BillingsThis book is a must read for all policy agents
responsible for making decisions in reference to African Americans
in education and will surely emerge as the seminal piece on this
topic. - Congresswoman Gwendolynne S. Moore, 4th District of
Wisconsin.
