| dc.description.abstract | This paper identifies the systematic differences between postsecondary campuses that do and do not apply for, and do and do not receive funding from the Grants to Reduce Violent Crimes Against Women on Campus Program(i.e., a Campus Grant) over a period of five years. In particular, this paper uses regression analysis to estimate which institutions apply for and successfully receive a Campus Grant, as well as the subsequent influence that a Campus Grant has on the number of sex offenses at a given campus. Among other findings, my estimates suggest that large public universities with higher sex offenses, ceteris paribus, are more likely to apply and receive a Campus Grant. In addition, in the first three years of operation, Campus Grants are correlated with a 7.0 to 4.9 reduction in the number of sex offenses. | en_US |
