PUBLIC RELATIONS FINAL PROJECT CASE STUDIES

CASE 2

THE COLLEGE CAMPUS SAFETY CHALLENGE

During the last two years, 20013 and 2014 campus crime has increased 30% nationwide. The FBI reported numerous incidents of stalking, muggings and attacks toward females on the campuses of major universities in the United States.  The FBI report encouraged college presidents to increase safety training, security, and add new lighting to dark areas of the campus. The research indicates that crime and fear may seriously threaten the quality of life on our college campuses in the future.  The research further indicates that students are complacent in their attitudes and feel as if “It cannot happen to me” and of course as is the case on all college campuses, there is a group of students who think that the administration is not caring and is not concerned about their safety.
