Sexual Assault
Creating a campus neighborhood watch is one approach to reduce the number of sexual assaults in the area. The campus police introduce a special, easy-to-remember number that is designated to receive notification of any suspicious activity. Students can use their cell phone or emergency 'blue light' call phones to call this number. The administration and campus security can stress that it is partially the student's responsibility to create a safer campus, through their vigilant efforts. Then, existing officers can be redeployed in the areas to address perceived concerns, once a student notifies the police.
Plan
Additionally, all students can be required to take a class in self-defense, to increase their sense of empowerment should they suffer an attack. The classes can be physical, and show students how various physical and verbal techniques can reduce their likelihood of being the subject of assaults. These lessons are not simply valuable on the current campus environment, but can be carried with the students throughout their lives.
The self-defense classes should also contain advice on preventative measures, such as taking the campus bus whenever possible, rather than traveling alone by foot in high-risk areas at high-risk times like after dark. Finally, these classes can also include sensitivity training exercises to create a sense of mutual responsibility for the safety of all students. The classes can enable the students to have a forum for discussion about sexual harassment issues, and about behaviors that may make them more vulnerable to attacks, such as drinking too much, which may let down the student's guard while they are walking home. Although it should be stressed that no one deserves to be assaulted, given that such crimes are a fact of life, students should feel empowered, by taking responsibility into their own hands to exercise preventative and proactive strategies to mitigate the likelihood that they may be the subjects of such an attack.

As the world evolves and becomes more politically correct and more culturally sensitive, certain injustices that might have been swept under the rug in the past are now no longer tolerated, but brought to the light of day
Sexual assault is real, the current unfolds have put this to the bare. I have also been simply amazed by the high profile sexual assault cases, and how such cases have been handled mainly, to favor the perpetrators while at the same time objectifying the victim. I also agree that it is time to address this and my concern is on sexual assault of females in colleges and other institutions

Campus Security: Asset Risk Assessment Though the basics of campus security may seem simple enough to an outsider, in performing a complete risk assessment for a college or university's campus in its entirety, it is easy to see that the task at hand is one that is extremely complex. The main goal of campus security is to protect and maintain its organization's assets. One can assess an asset in terms of
