| Abstract | In the past decade violence on college campuses and, specifically, sexual violence have been widely recognized as a significant and persistent problem. Multiple studies have been conducted on the prevalence, incidence, causes, and effects of this type of violence nationwide. This problem also has been addressed through national education policy and legislation. The Jeanne Clery Disclosure of Campus Security Policy and Campus Crime Statistics Act has been a major event in this policy and a separate target of research on its own. However, no studies up to date have comprehensively studied what colleges do to meet the requirements of the Clery Act and to reduce crime on their respective campuses.; This study analyzed student affairs professionals' awareness and perceptions of existing sexual violence prevention programs. It was sought to determine patterns in the professionals' perceptions based on the respondents' gender, years in the field, and other relevant characteristics.; The study was guided by two main research questions: (1) What sexual violence prevention programs do student affairs professionals perceive as most effective? and (2) Is there any pattern in student affairs professionals' perceptions of violence prevention programs, based on their gender, years in the field, professional level, unit in which they work, and size, type, and geographic location of the institution and perceptions of violence on campus as a problem? A nationwide web-based survey was used to conduct this study.; The results indicated that orientation for incoming students, self-defense programs, rallies/speak-outs, and distribution of brochures and other promotional materials were perceived to be most effective for sexual violence prevention on campus. Additionally, participants with less work experience, employed in entry-level positions at 2-year, commuter, and smaller-sized institutions demonstrated a greater preference for more traditional risk reduction and mass-printed information distribution programs than did their counterparts employed at larger residential and 4-year colleges, who had more professional experience and/or authority. The results present important implications for violence-related education and the types of colleges that need targeted funding to provide such an education, as well as for improving institutions' efforts in violence and crime prevention. |
