On-Campus Security

Providing a safe learning environment for your students and staff is essential to ensuring sound learning outcomes for students. Unfortunately, in recent times this is something which most educational institutions seem to struggle with. Australian higher education providers have seen a growing culture of violence of acceptance demonstrating the need for an increased security presence on campus.

Whilst harassment 
is 
an
 issue
 that 
is 
addressed
 in 
many 
university 
policies, the 
focus
is 
typically 
on 
the 
roles
 staff 
play. 
Despite
 many 
campus 
attempts 
to 
develop
comprehensive 
anti‐harassment 
policies, 
there
 are 
still 
issues
 of harassment
 that 
are
not 
adequately
 addressed 
at 
many 
universities. A survey carried out by the National Union of Students found that students felt relatively safe during the day, but were unable to say the same during the evening. 76% of women surveyed said they felt unsafe on campus during the evening. Further, the study showed:

• 86%
 of
 those surveyed had experienced
 someone
 making 
sexual
 comments 
or
 noises
• 25%
 have 
had 
unwanted
 physical 
contact 
of 
a 
sexual
 nature.
• 35%
 have
 had
 unwanted
 contact
 in 
the 
way
 of
 groping,
 touching

, etc.
• 25% 
of 
respondents 
experienced 
this 
type of behaviour on more than one occasion.
