Students and employees can take several steps in protecting themselves from crime. Most crimes occur because there was an opportunity for them to happen. For example, crimes of theft are largely random or calculated and occur because, for example, a laptop computer or backpack was left unattended. Crime prevention requires being alert and prepared.
