“…On the one hand parents were a little more optimistic. In a separate study, only 60% of students reported reading timely crime related information produced by their institutions and 22% of students reported reading the annual report (Janosik & Gehring, 2003). On the other hand, 27% of students reported attending a crime prevention program.…”

“…Interestingly, these percentages are strikingly similar to those reported by students. In their national study involving 3,866 students, Janosik and Gehring (2003) found that 27% of students knew about the Act, 22% read the annual report, and 8% reported using campus crime information in their decision about college choice. Parents seem no more interested in this information than students do.…”

“…Janosik (2001), Janosik and Gehring (2003), and Parkinson (2001) found that even after 10 years, only about 25% of students knew about or had read any of the mandated reports required by the Act. Less than 8% of respondents in two large studies reported using campus crime information in making their college choice decision.…”

“…These questions also elicited information about parent perception of the college administrators sharing information with them, strategies to address campus safety, and perceptions of the college environment experienced during this visit to campus. Many of these items were adapted from questionnaires previously developed by other researchers (Janosik, 2001;Janosik & Gehring, 2003;Janosik & Gregory, in press). The reliability for these very similar items was reported as .73 in these studies.…”

In a single institution study of 435 parents, the researcher found that parents' knowledge of the Clery Act and their use of the information contained in the federally mandated report to be low. Parent responses to crime awareness strategies and administrators who shared this information with them varied by educational attainment, experience with crime in the immediate family, and experience with children in college.

“…The first research on this topic was carried out in 1997 (Gehring & Calloway) and was an examination of the impact of the Act on admissions procedures. Subsequent researchers examined changes in student safety-related behaviors (Janosik, 2001;Janosik, in press;Janosik & Gehring, 2003), the impact of Clery on college choice (Parkinson, 2001), and the perceptions of campus law enforcement administrators regarding the effectiveness of the Clery Act (Janosik & Gregory, in press). …”

This article describes a study seeking to assess perceptions of campus judicial officers/members of the Association for Student Judicial Affairs (ASJA) regarding the effectiveness of the Clery Act (Campus Security Act) on campus judicial practices. In addition it provides information regarding overall effectiveness of Clery as perceived by the respondents. The researchers surveyed 1,143 members of the Association for Student Judicial Affairs (ASJA) whose institutions are covered by the Act. A total of 422 ASJA members returned questionnaires. This provided a response rate of 36.9%. The respondents included 39% Senior Student Affairs Officers who supervise a judicial conduct administrator, 44% who were judicial affairs officers and 17% who indicated that they were either faculty members, graduate students or "other." The overall population of respondents was divided among both public and private institutions. Here, 60% of the respondents were from public institutions and 40% were from private institutions. A large majority (88%) of the respondents worked at four-year institutions with the remainder (12%) working at two-year institutions.

The purpose of this study was to explore what factors served as impediments to institutional efforts to comply with Clery Act guidelines through the perceptions of campus law administrators. Statistical analyses were performed on data collected from an online survey, which was distributed to members of the International Association of Campus Law Administrators currently working at colleges and universities in the United States. Survey items were designed to explore the relationship between the following factors and Clery Act compliance: (a) institutional resistance, (b) ambiguity in the Act, (c) lack of funding, (d) lack of support, and (e) inaccurate reporting. Mazmanian and Sabatier's Theory of Effective Policy Implementation was used as a conceptual framework to examine challenges to institutional compliance with the Clery Act statute. The findings in this study will be used to help college administrators assess how to improve the performance level of campus law personnel in relation to promoting campus safety and complying with the Clery Act statute.
