Abstract	Compared to non-HBCU institutions, studies associated with student perceptions of campus crimes in HBCU settings are limited. Utilizing survey data from two HBCUs, nearly 200 students express their opinions in association with victimization, offender characteristics, and campus safety strategies. Descriptive results indicate high levels of support regarding potential victimization associated with theft and substance abuse is associated campus crime offending. Chi-square analyses reveal gender differences in terms of potentially experiencing sexual assault/rape and support for the use of a concealed weapon as a campus crime prevention measure. Limitations, areas of further research, and policy implications are discussed. (As Provided).
