| Abstract: | The Clery Act requires that U.S. universities issue "timely warnings" when certain crimes happen. The present study reports the results of a survey (n = 444) that college students responded to in the aftermath of receiving a Clery alert about a reported sexual assault. We find that students perceived the alert to be informative but also upsetting, and viewed the safety tips as helpful. Variation existed based on demographic and contextual factors. |
