“…Some scholars (Cantalupo, ; Janosik, & Gregory, ) studied policy as a solution to the problem of sexual violence. However, these scholars largely investigated institutional compliance with legislative expectations and the efficacy of policies.…”

“…It wasn't until the murder of Jeanne Clery, who lived in residence and studied at Lehigh University (Pennsylvania), that provided the major incident for developing and passing "The Student Right-to-Know and Campus Security Act" (Public Law 101-542) in 1990 (Janosik and Gregory 2003 ) . The report needs to include information about (a) the type of crime (e.g., criminal homicide, sexual offenses, robbery, aggravated assault, burglary, arson, motor vehicle theft, and arrests), (b) locations (e.g., on campus, on campus residential facilities, non-campus buildings, and public places), (c) a statement of current policies regarding procedures for reporting crime, (d) descriptions of security and crime prevention programs, (e) information about security and access to campus facilities, and (f) current policies concerning campus law enforcement (Fisher et al 2002 ;Janosik and Gregory 2009 ;Lipka 2009 ) . One purpose of the "Clery Act" was to provide students and parents with suf fi cient campus crime statistics to help them make informed college enrollment decisions.…”

The "Geotechnologies and the Environment" series is intended to provide specialists in the geotechnologies and academics who utilize these technologies, with an opportunity to share novel approaches, present interesting (sometimes counterintuitive) case studies, and most importantly to situate GIS, remote sensing, GPS, the internet, new technologies, and methodological advances in a real world context. In doing so, the books in the series will be inherently applied and re fl ect the rich variety of research performed by geographers and allied professionals.Beyond the applied nature of many of the papers and individual contributions, the series interrogates the dynamic relationship between nature and society. For this reason, many contributors focus on human-environment interactions. The series are not limited to an interpretation of the environment as nature per se. Rather, the series "places" people and social forces in context and thus explore the many sociospatial environments humans construct for themselves as they settle the landscape. Consequently, contributions will use geotechnologies to examine both urban and rural landscapes.

“…These laws were enacted to provide a framework for preventing and responding to campus sexual violence. Janosik and Gregory (2009) emphasized that efforts by national higher education student affairs organizations have been more reactive than proactive with respect to campus crime.…”

“…Numerous media and professional sources report that campuses continue to underreport crime in spite of the Clery Act because of jurisdictional confusion, organizational inefficiency, and concern with (accused) student confidentiality (Wilcox et al, 2007). In a study of senior student affairs officers, 99% of the respondents self-reported that they are candid about campus crime and 3% reported that there is an attempt to hide campus crime (Janosik & Gregory, 2009).…”

“…Findings of multiple studies highlight confusion about the reporting and statistical gathering component of the law. The legislation includes specific language regarding geography when counting and coding crime statistics with which many respondents in multiple studies express frustration (U.S. Department of Education, 2019; Cantalupo, 2011;Cantalupo, 2009;Janosik & Gregory, 2009). However, data suggest that the prevention, education, and awareness programs contribute to student safety.…”

From reactive to proactive : a descriptive case study of organizational change to institutionalize a campus Sexual Assault Response Team (SART) at a large Mid-Atlantic state university

The purpose of this descriptive case study was to demonstrate how a large public university fully transformed its approach to campus sexual assault response through the development of a sexual assault response team (SART). The research addressed organizational and systemic elements at the case study institution in the development of a comprehensive, holistic, and campus-wide approach. Multiple stakeholders were interviewed to provide perspectives of key staff who were active agents in the institutional change. Their various perspectives, as well as a document review, contributed to an understanding of the institution's transformation in becoming a recognized model of campus sexual assault response. The data analysis, guided by the Burke-Litwin (1992) model of organizational change, led to the emergence of findings showing that supportive leadership, persistence through implementation, reliance on internal experts, and a proactive commitment to student responsiveness were key attributes of the best practice model. What also emerged from the data was the presence of institutional courage as the campus faced an increase in reports of campus sexual assault because of the University's increased responsiveness to students. Campus leadership accepted the vulnerability required to face the rise in reported cases and used open, transparent communication to effectively address stakeholder concerns. This study represented a paradigm shift from a reactive response to campus sexual assault to a proactive approach. An increase in reported cases was a measure of the initiative's success. Seventeen years after implementation, this University's SART remains a best practice model.
