Crime Prevention
Most people agree in principle that crime prevention and
personal safety are important issues. In
reality, many are lax in taking precautions
that could make a difference in their
lives. College students are no exception.
Whether you live on campus or commute,
you’ll have more than enough activity to
keep you busy. It’s possible that crime
prevention won’t have a high priority on
your list of priorities and
responsibilities. You may find excuses for
not making crime prevention and personal
awareness a part of your daily routine.
A common perception is that college campuses
are refuges, set apart from the rest of the
world, where nothing bad happens. The
University of Hartford is a community. In
many respects it’s like a town or city.
While some assume that crimes don’t occur on
college campuses, the reality is that our
community, like others, is not entirely free
of criminal activity and behavior.
Crime does and will continue to occur, but
you can take steps to lessen the chances of
becoming a victim. The information provided
in this brochure is a reference to help you
prevent crime and enhance your personal
safety. |
