Campus Safety: Perceptions and Experiences of Women Students
Kelly, Bridget Turner; Torres, Alina
Journal of College Student Development, v47 n1 p20-36 Jan-Feb 2006
The purpose of this research was to examine the campus experiences of undergraduate and graduate women students at a research university. Although it has been more than 20 years since the term "chilly campus climate" was described in Hall and Sandler's (1984) seminal work, this study found such a climate, in terms of campus safety, still exists for women students. Across race, university classification, and level of involvement, the women students in this study reported a chilly campus climate that served to further perpetuate a culture of fear women students felt for their campus safety.
