Abstract

The purpose of the research is to consider the interwoven effects that disorder, environment, and fear have on college students in the hope that it leads to favorable policy initiatives. This study employed a mixed method research design. Data was gathered via an online survey that was emailed to the entire Illinois State University student body and by way of focus groups. The data was fully transcribed and the researcher established an appropriate coding scheme to interpret it. This information will likely lead to positive safety and security upgrades for the ISU community.
