  1. Part One: The Questions • These statistics are the collapsed results with the not applicable answers removed. The categories were reduced from the original six (strongly disagree, disagree, neutral, agree, strongly agree and not applicable) to three categories, disagree, neutral, and agree. This was done to increase the numbers in each category in order to make the results more meaningful as well as to avoid the not applicable answers.

  34. For the part of the survey that asked where you felt particularly safe or unsafe, there were many common responses. In order from most common to the least common response are the answers. Bar Designation: Disagree-1 and 2/ Neutral - 3 and 4/ Agree - 5 and 6

  35. Why do you feel particularly safe in a building at night? • Lots of people around. • Well lit. • Familiar building • Many staff around. • Can be behind locked doors. • Lots of services open late (pubs, Walkhome etc...). • Very busy. • Always open. • Central location. • Available phones. • Things going on. Bar Designation: Disagree-1 and 2/ Neutral - 3 and 4/ Agree - 5 and 6

  36. Why do you feel particularly unsafe in a building at night? • Not well lit. • No people around. • Too many corners/stairwells etc... • Suspicious people have access. • Confusing buildings. • Building isolated. • People can see where you are in the building. • Underground. • Dark corridors. • Very physically open building. • Building not locked when it could be. • Have no staff on at night. • No phones around, close to you. • Unmonitored hallways. Bar Designation: Disagree-1 and 2/ Neutral - 3 and 4/ Agree - 5 and 6

  37. The buildings that were felt to be the most safe determined by the number of identical responses are; • John Deutsch University Centre • Stauffer Library • The Phys-ed centre • Mackintosh Corry Bar Designation: Disagree-1 and 2/ Neutral - 3 and 4/ Agree - 5 and 6

  38. The buildings that were felt to be the least safe again, according to the number of identical responses are; • Mackintosh Corry • Jeffery Hall • John Deutsch University Centre Bar Designation: Disagree-1 and 2/ Neutral - 3 and 4/ Agree - 5 and 6

  39. Further Information • Our survey responses also included 28 persons who self-identified as target groups under the Human Rights Act (visible minorities, gay, persons with disabilities etc.). We compared their responses to both the male and female non-self-identified responses. The main discrepancies were in terms of perceptions of safety. Self identified respondents felt less safe than men, but more safe than women on campus at night and when walking past lineups to campus bars. Self identified people also felt, along with women, that they were more at risk to become a victim of crime than men. Gay persons felt the most unsafe around the Phys ed centre, campus bars and bike racks, compared to men, women or visible minorities/persons with disabilities. Visible minorities/persons with disabilities also felt most unsafe in bathrooms, followed by women, gay persons and men. Because of the relatively small sample size of self-identified individuals, we are reluctant to read too much into the responses, but it appears that as a group, these individuals who self identified generally feel less safe on campus than men, but slightly more safe than women. Once adjusted by gender, the indication is that members of these groups feel more vulnerable than those who did not self-identify Bar Designation: Disagree-1 and 2/ Neutral - 3 and 4/ Agree - 5 and 6
