New Law Review Examines Campus Crime Issues
"The Clery Act: How Effective Is It?" by professors Dennis E. Gregory and Steven M. Janosik features an extensive review of public discourse on the Clery Act and related campus crime legislation, recommendations for improved campus safety, and information from three studies conducted by the authors on the Clery Act's effectiveness. "Making Campuses Safer For Students: The Clery Act As A Symbolic Legal Reform" by professors and noted campus crime researchers Bonnie Fisher, Jennifer Hartman, Francis T. Cullen, and Michael G. Turner addresses the Act from a research perspective and deals extensively with the difficulties the Act has faced in generating thorough and accurate crime statistics. This edition also features two articles on areas of emerging civil liability institutions of higher education are facing when violence occurs on campus. "Breaking the Code of Silence: Bystanders to Campus Violence and the Law of College and University Safety" by higher education law expert Joel Epstein explores the obligations of members of a campus community when they "hear or see violence in the making." "The Emerging Crisis of College Student Suicide: Law and Policy Responses to Serious Forms of Self-inflicted Injury" by higher education law experts Peter Lake and Nancy Tribbensee addresses shifts in law that indicate institutions of higher education are likely to face greater civil liability when they fail to take steps to prevent student suicide, including notifying parents or other family members of known danger signs.
