Previous research has suggested that situational crime prevention tactics could be useful on college campuses to reduce crime. College campuses represent a unique environment for their students. By their very nature and transient population, these institutions may put students at risk for victimization. As such, it is important to examine the effects of situational crime prevention techniques at the student level. The results could prove influential for future prevention and policy endeavors. This work examines situational crime prevention tactics in relation to property, violent, and overall crime as well as three constructs of fear of crime among college students. The analyses reveal significant relationships between situational crime prevention, crime, and fear that showcase the importance of this prevention technique on college campuses. The results should help college campuses and their students further understand the relationship between the campus environment and crime prevention.
