12 J. Contemp. Crim. Just. iii (1996)

handle is hein.journals/jccj12 and id is 1 raw text is: Journal of Contemporary Criminal Justice iii Vol. 12 * No. 1 * February 1996 EDITORIAL COMMENT The response to the call for papers for this special issue on campus crime was impressive. We are still receiving manuscripts which must be returned because the journal is complete. We reviewed fifteen manuscripts - the articles published here represent the most current and updated research on campus crime. Anyone familiar with the campus crime literature will recognize many of the contributors to this issue. We are proud to publish the work of Bonnie Fisher, John Sloan, and Max Bromley who have made a career in researching campus crimes. The articles reflect varied methodological approaches to different aspects of campus crime. Briefly, each article will be highlighted. Christine Sellers and Max Bromley examine dating violence at a large urban university utilizing a sample of over 2300 to determine the nature and extent of dating violence. Linda Forst, Timothy Lightfoot and Arthur Burrichter examine the effectiveness of two rape prevention programs on rape-supported beliefs among college students. George Richards provides theprocedure forconducting and implementing a security survey on campus. Ida Johnson and Robert Sigler study victim labeling of forced sexual intercourse as rape. Kenneth McCreedy and Bruce Dennis conducted a large study at their university focusing on reported and unreported crimes on campus including rape, other sexual offenses, stalking, and lewd phone calls. John Sloan, Bonnie Fisher, and Deborah Wilkins examine fear of victimization and perceived risk of victimization on campus. LauraMoriarty and WilliamPelfrey explore explanations for campus crime focusing on internal and external factors. Although this special issue adds to the campus crime literature, relatively there is very little empirical research on the subject compared to crime in general. Many issues regarding campus crime have yet to be researched. It is our hope that the authors published in this special issue will continue their work and increase the body of literature focusing on campus crime. William V. Pelfrey, Ph.D. Laura J. Moriarty, Ph.D.
