The Problem of Rape on Campus
The problem of rape on campus should be a vitally important area of concern for every college and university. While women (and men) of all ages can be victims of rape and sexual violence, the disproportionate distribution of courtship-aged youth studying, socializing and living on campus creates a unique environment particularly vulnerable to these crimes against persons. Few colleges and universities escape the trauma and impact of sexual violence.
In recent years, college and university administrators have become increasingly sensitized to the problem of rape on campus and the pressing need for proactive rape awareness, education and prevention programs. This increased awareness has been stimulated by moral consciousness, events that may have occurred on their own campuses and the widespread media attention the problem of rape on campus has received.
Addressing the problem of rape on campus is not a simplistic matter [sic]. Traditionally the areas of stranger rape and sexual assault were thought to be the most serious life safety problems on campus. In recent years, however, we have come to understand that acquaintance rape or date rape happen far more frequently on campus then [sic] does stranger rape. More recently yet, campus life professionals have become aware of how often group rape or gang rape occurs on campus.
The problem of rape on campus can only be effectively addressed through programs of awareness, education, prevention and postvention response. Members of the campus community must be sensitized to the degree the problem exists, both men and women must understand the cultural and moral values involved and positive prevention measures must be adopted. And when rape and sexual violence do occur on campus, it is important that appropriate response and support protocols have been established.
To address a broad range of issues related to acquaintance rape and rape prevention on campus, Campus Crime Prevention Programs will present a two-day workshop in both Boston, Massachusetts and Long Beach, California entitled, “The Problem of Rape on Campus.” This workshop will be an interdisciplinary program for campus law enforcement officers, student counselors, student health professionals, student affairs administrators, student housing officers and campus rape prevention committee or crises center members. The workshop will present a unique opportunity for members of these professional disciplines from colleges and universities throughout the United States and Canada to meet and work together to address the problem of rape on campus.
Basic Workship [sic] Details The Problem of Rape on Campus Workshop will be held on October 6 and 7, 1988 at the Sheraton Tara Hotel in Danvers, Massachusetts (near Boston) and on November 17 and 18, 1988 at the Hyatt Edgewater Hotel in Long Beach, California. The two-day program will consist of knowledgeable speaker [sic] serving both as presenters and workshop facilitators. The workshop setting will allow for meaningful exchange of information and ideas in light of the experience of workshop speakers and participants.

Keller, who is also the founder of the American Crime Prevention Institute (ACPI). According to the Institute’s website today, they currently hold similar programs to this, making it likely that the “Campus Crime Prevention Programs” was either an offshoot or a subgroup of the ACPI (“Goshen Enterprises, Inc. in Goshen, KY – Reviews – Bizapedia Profile,” Bizapedia.com, Accessed 21 July 2016.
