| Descripción: | This paper reviews literature on campus crime and security. It reports the findings of a case study of an in-house security force servicing a large postsecondary institution located in central Canada. Limited data on campus crime in Canada and the U.S. indicate that it is neither as fre- quent nor as serious as media and other reports suggest. Primary data on the demographic characteristics of security officers combined with infor- mation on recruitment, training, mobility, and job content point to the existence of occupational segmentation within this sector. The findings also underscore the prevalence of a professional crime control-oriented form of security provision and are consistent with those of recent Canadian and American studies of campus crime and policing. The need for future research on issues concerning illegality and security on univer- sity campuses is highlighted and policy recommendations addressing the transition to a more community-oriented approach are outlined. |
