Thought about the Security practices at your college?

<p>Evening everyone! </p>

<p>I am in need of assistance so please I'm asking for help with some homework and truly have no other way to get it done. I am conducting a 4 question survey in relation to security practices at your college and wether or not any changes have been made since the recent incident at Viginia Tech had taken place. </p>

<p>If you have time to answer these questions for me I would be very grateful! </p>

<p>A few things I need to know are what college you are from, age and whether your male or female- no names nothing more!</p>

<p>1- Has the security within your college (public or private) changed since the Virginia tech incident?</p>

<p>2- Do you think the changes (if any) are sufficient enough to prevent an incident like this from happening at your institution?
(if no changes just indicate none made or N/A & go to question 3)</p>

<p>3- (If no changes) Do you think the present security methods at your
location are enough to prevent this type of situation from reoccurring? </p>

<p>4- Are there any issues that you feel should be implemented at your location
or in all schools that could help in the prevention on another Virginia Tech incident occurring?</p>

<p>1- Has the security within your college (public or private) changed since the Virginia tech incident?</p>

<p>Nope.</p>

<p>2- Do you think the changes (if any) are sufficient enough to prevent an incident like this from happening at your institution?
(if no changes just indicate none made or N/A & go to question 3)
N/A</p>

<p>3- (If no changes) Do you think the present security methods at your
location are enough to prevent this type of situation from reoccurring?
Nope.</p>

<p>4- Are there any issues that you feel should be implemented at your location
or in all schools that could help in the prevention on another Virginia Tech incident occurring?</p>

<p>Nope, **** happens. Not everything is preventable. Short of living in a police state, if bad people want to do bad things, they'll find a way.</p>

<p>Michigan State University, female, 19</p>

<p>1) One little change.</p>

<p>2) No, since a reverse 911 system has been put in place. MSU police will notify students via their cellular phones if there is a dangerous situation affecting the MSU community. It does not prevent any incidents, just informs the students.</p>

<p>3) N/A</p>

<p>4) I agree with dilksy on this one.</p>

<p>College of William and Mary, male, 21</p>

<ol>
<li>No</li>
<li>N/A</li>
<li>No</li>
<li>What happened at VTech is IMPOSSIBLE to prevent. Any college student at any college can buy a gun and walk into a lecture hall and open fire. It's the truth, and there's nothing that can be done to change it. The same way, anyone can buy a gun and stand on a street corner and open fire into traffic waiting at a red light.</li>
</ol>

<p>so far I only have dual-credit college classes, but I'll answer for that school anyway!</p>

<p>Purdue University-North Central, female, 18
1) nothing known. although an email was sent out reassuring students that there is a plan for disaster.
2) No.
3) Not at all. Campus does not have good security.
4) I have to agree with dilksy and soccerguy. there really isn't any way of preventing things like that.</p>

<p>UF, male</p>

<p>1- Has the security within your college (public or private) changed since the Virginia tech incident?</p>

<p>-->no, I think the security was pretty good before</p>

<p>2- Do you think the changes (if any) are sufficient enough to prevent an incident like this from happening at your institution?
(if no changes just indicate none made or N/A & go to question 3)</p>

<p>-n/a</p>

<p>3- (If no changes) Do you think the present security methods at your
location are enough to prevent this type of situation from reoccurring?</p>

<p>-->No, UF's campus is way too big and spread out to prevent such an incident.</p>

<p>4- Are there any issues that you feel should be implemented at your location
or in all schools that could help in the prevention on another Virginia Tech incident occurring?</p>

<p>-->preventing it is unlikely</p>

<p>Azusa Pacific University, Los Angeles, CA; male/21</p>

<p>1- Has the security within your college (public or private) changed since the Virginia tech incident?</p>

<p>no</p>

<p>2- Do you think the changes (if any) are sufficient enough to prevent an incident like this from happening at your institution?
(if no changes just indicate none made or N/A & go to question 3)</p>

<p>N/A</p>

<p>3- (If no changes) Do you think the present security methods at your
location are enough to prevent this type of situation from reoccurring?</p>

<p>Not really. It would be impossible to outright "prevent" such an event since, as has been said, anyone could walk in with a weapon and open fire regardless of how well you attempt to supervise or screen students. Overall, however, APU does a good job of screening out students who are likely to commit such crimes.</p>

<p>4- Are there any issues that you feel should be implemented at your location
or in all schools that could help in the prevention on another Virginia Tech incident occurring?</p>

<p>Not really...</p>
