Campus Response to a Student Gunman
| ← The Battle between Images and Words | Corporate Social Responsibility → |
This article is about a study which was done by Kelly Asmussen and John Creswell after an alarming increase in campus violence. It is a qualitative type of study because it tries to explore the conduct, attitude and experiences of university students, and of the campus security and administration. This type of research attempts to get detailed views from participants, and extracting information from them takes a longer time. The research topic is ‘how campuses react to various incidences of violence within their premises.’ The study touches on every person within the campus premises. Those who took part in the study include: members of the administration, students and the campus employees. Several researches on this topic have been carried out in the past and most of them have portrayed that there have been various concerns on the issue of security within campuses which have been neglected, or shown little interest (Asmussen, 1995).
The research problem is about the issue insecurity within campus premises, and so the study seeks to establish better ways of dealing with this issue. Statistics indicate that gun-related violence is on the increase especially within campuses. Even though campus administrations and the police usually act speedily by taking drastic measures after such incidences occur, they fail to take preventive measures so as to avoid a repeat of the same. The researchers in this study collected data mainly through personal interviews. They asked the participants in-depth questions and their views on a one to one basis. The main subject matter which is evident in this study is that of insecurity. Campuses have increasingly become insecure over the years. A student cannot guess the intentions of his/her fellow colleagues and hence most of them live in fear all the time. Another theme that is brought out clearly in this article is negligence. Indeed, this is illustrated by the fact that students can come to class armed with guns. Campuses need to come up with a system where weapons are kept out of the school compound. The research question acts as a guide, it seeks answers to the topic on security concerns within various universities (Asmussen, 1995).
This study suggests that campus administrators and relevant security organs should act fast when issues of insecurity arise within the campus. The campus police must be able to arrest and prosecute the perpetrators very fast, while the administration should deal with the aftermath in a manner that will prevent future occurrences of the same problem. For example, the administration should try and counsel the affected students, or suspend the culprits from school. However, it is unfortunate that most campuses are not equipped to prevent such ingenious acts. Beneficiaries of this study

So often, when one deals with customer service, he or she is treated rudely. That was not the case with EssaysEmpire.com. The agents were helpful and friendly, knowledable and concerned. I, for one, was astounded with their competence. When it came down to the actual written material that I ordered, it was much better than I had anticipated. There are clearly some expert writers who work for EssaysEmpire.com. I would rate this writing service as exceptional, 5 stars out of 5 stars. I will happily return when I need help with another written work. |

I am completely satisfied with the paper I purchased from your company. I only wish I had known about you last year when I took an F grade for not being able to complete a paper on time. The work you did was marvelous. Whenever I find myself falling behind in my school work, I will be sure to pass along some of my more difficult written assignments to you |

The paper that your writers did for me on the topic of, The Psychological Effects of Fluorescent Lighting in the Workplace,” was right on the money! They included my long list of customizations and did not charge extra for them. The formatting was just right. There were no grammatical errors. The length was what it was supposed to be. I am so happy that I chose to let the EssaysEmpire.com writers take care of my paper for me. I will choose this writing service again without hesitation. |

I submitted my order as a ‘rush order’. I only had 2 days to get my paper finished and I just felt like I was sinking. I didn’t understand the material I was writing about, and I didn’t know what I was going to do. My friend recommended EssaysEmpire.com. I had very little lost by attempting to use this writing service, so I did. It was an excellent move on my part, because, not only was my paper finished on time. It was also excellently written. I will always be grateful to my friend for recommending your service. It is wonderful. |

I had a question about the pricing. As I glanced through the EssaysEmpire.com website, I noticed that they were offering a lot for not all that much money. I spoke to a customer service person and she told me that the prices I saw on the website were accurate. Therefore, I ordered my first paper, not expecting all that much. What I got back was a brilliantly written essay that earned an A+ mark! Wow! I am impressed! |
