Security

     Security services on campus play an important role in what is known as 'tertiary prevention': the preliminary response that can mitigate further harm to victims. A supportive, welcoming, nondoubting response can make or break a survivor's continued involvement--and the involvement of future victims, as word spreads about how she or he was treated.
