Introduction
This paper intends to investigate the measures of enhancing security in learning institutions. In the previous decades, most universities and colleges have appeared much unique environmental position in terms of security provisions. The security provisions are mainly based significant features which are mainly changing. The university hence can be held accountable for individual functions it is committed as an autonomous body concerning the rules and regulation. Public learning institutions have a supreme equivalence of any other government parastatals that has a duty to protect its clients and employees
Thesis Statement
This paper seeks to discuss the current statistics which indicates clearly that there is upsurging of numerous crimes which happen in colleges and universities on a continuous basis. It has been discovered that, in the year 2001, there were 11,659 robberies reported from the universities and colleges. Additionally, there have also been 610 murders. Similarly, more than 10,000 compulsory sexual assaults were also described in the college campuses over this same period.
Hypothesis
Security enhancement leads to a reduction in crimes in Learning Institutions.
The universities and schools in this country are prone to the violence. If the plight of violence in this country is not sufficiently addressed, it will lead to a rise in a number of the casualties and victims of murder in the learning institutions (Prenzler, 2012). This is considered to be evident of the challenges that take place in Virginia Tech. Even after the perilous and hazardous occurrence, the country ends up going to normal business, this must not be the case.
The federal government and other stakeholders have made the decision to take a stand and commit itself on just what it takes to ensure there is safety in the learning institutions.
The first step is to file the bill of installing security measures in learning institutions. Last year the report indicated that over 450 bills were filed but they have never been debated. Based on that, it should be noted that the university and school management do not have an obligation to be blamed with the government on certain aspects of safety and security measures.
The second step is to involve all learning institutions stakeholders in the decision making. This requires all teachers, the college management, the parents, board of governors and local communities to come up with diverse and practical strategies to put in place so as to save the students.
The third and final step is implementation. Since it has been noted that safe environment is basic to the success of the institution, and it is part and parcel of the school management. The management must execute all strategies discussed including all the bills regarding security. The much-required quality education hence ought to be stressed in all possible situations with the same enthusiasm that is bestowed .

Introduction
This paper intends to investigate the measures of enhancing
security in learning institutions. In the previous decades, most
universities and colleges have appeared much unique
environmental position in terms of security provisions. The
security provisions are mainly based significant features which
are mainly changing. The university hence can be held
accountable for individual functions it is committed as an
autonomous body concerning the rules and regulation. Public
learning institutions have a supreme equivalence of any other
government parastatals that has a duty to protect its clients and
employees
Thesis Statement
This paper seeks to discuss the current statistics which indicates
clearly that there is upsurging of numerous crimes which
happen in colleges and universities on a continuous basis. It has
been discovered that, in the year 2001, there were 11,659
robberies reported from the universities and colleges.
Additionally, there have also been 610 murders. Similarly, more
than 10,000 compulsory sexual assaults were also described in
the college campuses over this same period.
Hypothesis
Security enhancement leads to a reduction in crimes in Learning
Institutions.
2. The universities and schools in this country are prone to the
violence. If the plight of violence in this country is not
sufficiently addressed, it will lead to a rise in a number of the
casualties and victims of murder in the learning institutions
(Prenzler, 2012). This is considered to be evident of the
challenges that take place in Virginia Tech. Even after the
perilous and hazardous occurrence, the country ends up going to
normal business, this must not be the case.
The federal government and other stakeholders have made the
decision to take a stand and commit itself on just what it takes
to ensure there is safety in the learning institutions.
The first step is to file the bill of installing security measures in
learning institutions. Last year the report indicated that over
450 bills were filed but they have never been debated. Based on
that, it should be noted that the university and school
management do not have an obligation to be blamed with the
government on certain aspects of safety and security measures.
The second step is to involve all learning institutions
stakeholders in the decision making. This requires all teachers,
the college management, the parents, board of governors and
local communities to come up with diverse and practical
strategies to put in place so as to save the students.
The third and final step is implementation. Since it has been
noted that safe environment is basic to the success of the
institution, and it is part and parcel of the school management.
The management must execute all strategies discussed including
all the bills regarding security. The much-required quality
education hence ought to be stressed in all possible situations
with the same enthusiasm that is bestowed to different academic
issues which the students engage in.
These learning institutions, in this case, ought to endeavor to
3. implement the campus security practices which have been
considered to be effective in other private colleges and
campuses. In addition, it is significant that there must be a
stringent evaluation of the execution of the emergency reaction
strategies that have to be piloted, where there are numerous
crime incidences which take place (Heizer & Render, 2014).
This will assist in guaranteeing that the ongoing cycle of
mitigation, preparation, response and recovery, is adhered to
(Prenzler, 2012).
Measurement and Analysis Approach
Some of the approaches that will be applied in order to carry
out the appropriate and effective study to put in place stringent
security measures to the students include a collection of data
from the students especially those who have been victims. There
will be the use of questionnaires, where questions will be
drafted regarding insecurity incidences and what the main
causes were. The questionnaires will give feedback on the
safety or security measures that have been in place before to
curb insecurity issues and were a general impact on the lives of
the students. Finally, there will be the use of interviews. The
students will be interviewed on the matters concerning security.
The interview will be on individual basis. The victims will be
given priority in the interview because they have life
experience.
Ethical Standards
Data integrity: falsification and fabrication of research data is
misconduct. It is my role as a researcher to avoid some of the
omission and false statements that misrepresents research
record. Hence I will ensure that I report what has been observed
at the time of submission. On issue of publication I will
communicate to the scholarly world to help the readers to be
more informed of the research findings by making them
accessible in continuous manner with pertinent publication
4. standards. The data to be reported must be detailed to help me
duplicate the result (Herlihy &Corey, 2014).
