We created a survey of 13 questions through Qualtrics that was then distributed through different social media platforms, that asks participants if campus police generate fear and stress amongst students.
Our sample consisted of 122 participants that are Radford University students
The results showed that the majority of our sample, in regards to Class Standing, Gender, and Ethnicity were as follows; 57.4% were seniors, 51.4% were Female, and 59.8% were White/Caucasian
In our study we will research how police presence on
College campus make students feel.
.(Hypothesis)
Purpose of this research is to
Past studies have found that both race and gender
participants in the study can predict how they perceived
use of force. The study also states exposure to media
coverage and highly publicized incidents of police
misconduct have also been found to negatively impact
Perceptions of police especially among Blacks and
Hispanics.
We believe that the police and students would benefit from programs that integrate them on campus to reduce the systematic fear and stress that the students experience.
This program would allow students to shadow campus police, giving students the transparency and insight into the duties and responsibilities of campus police; In the hope that this insight will decrease the levels of stress and fear amongst students.

Pate, Margaret (PM) - This needs to be introduced as the hypothesis and your hypothesis needs to be edited because you guys did not measure the amount of police presence in your survey.
