Abstract: An abundance of surveys and news reports have clearly indicated that sexual assaults and other violent crimes are prevalent on U.S. college and university campuses. What isn't as well known is how little is being done by most institutions to try and reduce this fact. Poor awareness of the reality of crime rates, combined with widespread policies that discourage the reporting of these crimes gives students and universities a false sense of security. A lack of adequate if any punishment for most offenders encourages escalation of these crimes resulting in a growth of sexual predatory behavior on campuses. This thesis examines why this behavior is occurring, what is and is not being done about it, and what needs to be done.
