Picture
September is recognized as National Campus Safety Awareness Month which brings attention to the issue of safety on campus. This encourages public conversation about violence prevention on campuses all around our nation. Although it focuses on colleges and universities it can apply to high schools, middle schools and elementary schools. Students in the country become victims of sexual assault, robbery, stalking, homicide and other crimes. 

According to campus crime statistics (2018-2020 American Samoa Community College general catalog) and  Campus Safety and Security website our local college has within the years 2015-2018 had crime offenses. The highest number of committed offenses at ASCC are burglary, Liquor violation, drug violation and sexual harassment. Aside from sexual harassment and aggravated assault, no other serious violent offense such as rape, murder have been reported between 2015-2018.

Although, numbers are small for Campus crime at ASCC it is still too much for such a small college. Campus violence continues to be a significant issue among mainland schools and our local students attend or transfer to as they pursue higher education. As a community and a nation we need to unite to eradicate all forms of violence on campus and navigate solutions that will work for each campus across our nation. 

Throughout the rest of the month of September we will continue to raise awareness and encourage public conversation about violence prevention on campus, through our social media platforms.
