¶ … federal government does not always get involved in law enforcement issues, but because it has the ability to do so on college campuses, it has. The federal government forces colleges and universities to report campus crimes because it has the ability to do so, and because it wants to be seen as doing everything that it can to provide a safe environment for people to study. The federal government does not run campus policing, nor does it write local laws, so the act is mainly with respect to making information available to members of the public. Parents of students are usually voters, and it was their demands and outcry that led to the laws. The initial Campus Security Act, therefore, was a response to public and media pressure.

First, where the statistics are positive, those can be used to build a case that the campus is safe, or has relative safety compared with the surrounding areas, or against other competing schools. The use of hard numbers can be tied in with interviews about safety perceptions on campus, so that there can be a juxtaposition of perceptions and reality.
For example, Suffolk has a very safe campus. But if the perceptions of safety are misaligned with that, there might be a…
