The second article from the ‘student safety and campus security’ research has been published by Dr Nicola Roberts on ‘the dark and desolate campus: what can be done to enhance students’ perceptions of safety on-campus’? With Emerald Publishing in the Safer Communities journal: DOI https://doi.org/10.1108/SC-01-2022-0006. The implications of the findings point to campus security enhancing lighting, CCTV, security patrols and the presence of others to enhance students’ perceptions of safety on-campus. In doing so, it highlights the responsibility of HEIs to ensure students’ safety on-campus, including their perceptions of safety. This is important because some students avoid the campus after-dark and when alone.
