ABSTRACT
There is a growing concern in this nation about the nature and extent of crime on our college campuses. In the past, one problem has been identifying how much crime occurs on campuses because of underreporting. To remedy this, the U.S. Congress enacted the Crime Awareness and Campus Security Act of 1990, which requires colleges and universities to collect and disseminate statistics on crime on campuses beginning in September, 1991. This paper presents a critical analysis of this legislation and suggests that this Act will not only fail to remedy the crime reporting problem, but will actually add to the confusion. In addition, the paper comments on other important goals stated in the act.
