“…And individuals are not the only ones harmed by theft. The university itself is strained, both financially and in terms of the services provided, when books, academic equipment, and electronic devices are stolen (Edwards, 2018 ; Ekere et al, 2019 ; Harrison, 1996 ; Kaplan, 2021 ; McGuin, 2010 ; Miller & Veltri, 2001 ).…”

“…Most literature on campus technology theft largely focuses on strategies for preventing the theft of laptops and other devices among students, faculty, and/or staff (Bell, 2012 ; Kijanczuk, 2014 ; McKay, 2008 ; Simmons, 2018 ; Zhang et al, 2014 ). And while literature exists about preventing the theft of university property (Edwards, 2018 ; Ekere et al, 2019 ; Harrison, 1996 ; Kaplan, 2021 ; McGuin, 2010 ; Miller & Veltri, 2001 ; Zhang et al, 2014 ), surprisingly little of it focuses on electronic devices.…”

Objective The opportunity for web camera theft increased globally as institutions of higher education transitioned to remote learning during COVID-19. Given the thousands of cameras currently installed in classrooms, many with little protection, the present study tests the effectiveness of anti-theft signage for preventing camera theft. Methods Examined web camera theft at a southern, public university located in the United States of America by randomly assigning N = 104 classrooms to receive either anti-theft signage or no signage. Camera theft was analyzed using Blaker’s exact test. Results Classrooms not receiving anti-theft signage (control) were 3.42 times more likely to exhibit web camera theft than classrooms receiving anti-theft signage (medium effect size). Conclusions Using classrooms as the unit of analysis presents new opportunities for not only future crime prevention experiments, but also improving campus safety and security. Also, preventing web camera theft on campus is both fiscally and socially responsible, saving money and ensuring inclusivity for remote learners.

“…In a study by Miller and Veltri (2003) in which public recreation facilities were examined, an entire section of a survey completed by facility administrators/ supervisors was devoted to closed-circuit television (CCTV) use. It was discovered by Miller and Veltri (2001) that illegal entry by others contributed, at the highest rate, to criminal activities in recreation centers.…”

Factors affecting risk management of indoor campus recreation facilities were studied. Campus recreation directors of 4-year colleges/universities in North America who held memberships in the National Intramural-Recreational Sports Association (NIRSA) responded to a paper survey consisting of 32 dichotomous yes/no and close-ended multiple-choice questions. Questions addressed staff certification requirements, use of waivers, number of automatic external defibrillators (AEDs) in the facility, communication and security devices, health screening of participants, and in-person supervision of the facility. Results showed that facilities are open to participants extensively throughout the 7-day week, thus requiring directors to ensure their risk management procedures are up to date—most notably staff members' CPR and first aid certification, as well as AED training.

“…The study did not address, however, whether the directors of intramural sport programs actually communicated their risk management plans to their participants. While communication of a plan to staff members of an organization has been widely stressed (Maloy & Higgins, 2000;Miller & Veltri, 2001;Seidler, 2001), no previous risk management research has been conducted from the participant's viewpoint. Thus, the purpose of this study was to determine the effectiveness of university intramural risk management plans from the perception of the participants.…”

One of the best ways for an intramural sports program to ensure that an ordinary and reasonable standard of care is adhered to, as well as guarding against litigation, is communication of a risk management program. While having a risk management plan has been widely stressed, no previous research has been conducted from a participant's viewpoint. Thus, the purpose of this study was to determine the effectiveness of university intramural risk management plans from the participant's perception. The primary results of this study indicate that the majority of the intramural sport participants responded that they had never: a) noticed an intramural supervisor being present while the activity was taking place; b) been informed about the potential for participant injury; c) noticed signage relating to emergency procedures at the area of the activity; d) knew of a risk management plan for intramural sports; d) noticed emergency equipment at the site of the activity; and e) been informed about the possession of First Aid/CPR certification or equivalent by the supervisor.
