| Abstract | This monograph reviews a college or university's responsibility for incidents of crime occurring on its campus or in the course of its programs. Part 1 reviews the legal analyses which courts undertake in responding to claims that, under common tort law or contract theories, liability for the injuries suffered by a person ought to be shifted from the victim to the university. It examines theories and cases on duty of care in three models (college-student "special relationship," landowner-business invitee, and landlord-tenant); negligence based on foreseeability of injury risk; and breach of express or implied contract. Part 2 examines a kind of statute that makes the institution a criminal for "permitting" crime on its campus and/or creates a new per se liability protecting students and employees. Four distinct ways in which these statutes may impose liability on academic institutions are discussed: direct criminalization of university conduct, compliance as a condition of federal funding, statutorily created duty of care, and breach of contract. Part 3 catalogs ways in which institutions can reduce the incidence of crime on campus and manage the risk of liability, through education, compliance, prevention, periodic review and modification, and crisis management.
