✦ Synopsis

This article discussed the results of a campus crime victimization study conducted at a major state university. The survey data were compared to the officially recorded data that were available from the campus police department and with data from other victimization research. The data indicated that campus crime is clearly lower than crime in the general community. The study showed agreement with most of the previous research, though there were several important observations. First, crime on campus was not only less common it was less severe than crime in the general population. Second, the nature of crime on campus seemed to support a routine activities theoretical framework. Third, the data clearly showed that the anxiety about campus crime fostered by the media is not supported by the data.
