Campus Security in Universities
Introduction
For many years, security in Tulsa University has been considered as the fundamental aspect for enhancing a suitable environment for effective learning process. In essence, the security officers of Tulsa University are certified whose purpose is to deterrence crime and safety for all students, staff members and visitors. In facts, Tulsa security department provides escorts on request during hours of darkness or in the normal operation hours. In conjunction with this, the security offers vehicle assistance where possible to students, staff and faculty. With this regard, this proposal seeks to discuss about campus securities in universities. In examining this, this paper will discuss the advantages and disadvantages of campuses.
Statement of the problem
Over the years, issues concerning campus security have been sidelined. It is borne in mind; campus security enhances protection through providing the high degree of the public safety thus, assuring a suitable learning environment (Lashley 197). There have been several deep rooted issues concerning Tulsa campus security in the sense that, the security department has so much focused on giving parking tickets and towing cars as they ought to provide safety for students. Lack of providing security safety for students have attributed to their properties stolen thus, creating unfavorable environment for many students. Lack of safety for students has epitomized many students to the extent, in some campuses it causes shooting everywhere (Astin 650). In this regard, studies outline that, the Northern Illinois University has experience lack of safety security for their students in that, in the year 2008, there were grief and questioning of the deadly shootings in the university ( Finder & Rimer 1). Finder and Rimer argue that, the former student at Northern Illinois University opened fire on the lecturer hall that killed five students. With no doubt; investigation indicated that, the reason for such tragedy was due that, there were no fences or gates in the university thus, there was an open access for advancing crime (Fitzpatrick 10).
Nevertheless, campus security has been emphasized in some universities. For instance, despite Tulsa security department concentrating much on giving parking tickets and towing cars as ought to providing students security; the escorts’ security has an emphasis on providing escorts upon request particularly at night or after the normal operation hours. As a result, this has eradicated security problems for students that leave the institution at late hours.
Additionally, the core purpose for security officers has been to deterrence crime thus, with such an objective it has encouraged the Tulsa security department to enhance safety for all students, staff members and employees thus creating a safe environment for the Tulsa University.
Hypothesis
Security has not been emphasized in many campuses in the sense that, there have been many emerging issues concerning the lack of safety for students to the extent; many have lost their properties and murdered.
Research plan
In order to achieve my results, my research plan will be collected by the primary and secondary data. In facts, the primary data will be done directly in the field through learning institutions. Additionally, the research will gather additional information on any other relevant materials regarding campus security through internet information, newspapers and textbooks. Methods of data collection will include interview schedule and questionnaires. In essence, interviews will be carried out in Tulsa universities and other universities concerning security issues in campuses. In addition, questionnaires will be imposed to victims that have suffered because of lack of campus security. These questions will include: how active the security department is, how often does security provides escorts at night, the major causes of crime in campuses and what can be done to enhance campuses security. With no doubt; this will effectively assist in carrying out the research plan.
