Timely and urgent, this book examines the culture and governance of colleges and universities regarding both excess in elite student societies and sexual violence, particularly against female students.

Taking into account the deaths, serious injuries and grave sexual abuse taking place among student populations, the book takes a criminological and sociological perspective on the institutions, offenders and victims involved.

With high profile court cases and media responses driving demand for reform, the author considers institutional reactions and concludes with recommendations to improve crime prevention, accountability and the support for survivors.

Reviews for Crime and Deviance in the Colleges: Elite Student Excess and Sexual Abuse

"""This book strongly argues that abuse and crime among university students is a theme that is far from exhausted, there are few measures in hand by which to address such conduct, and that it should be a wider societal concern than it is. Punch also shows us that universities have some way to go if they are to become model students themselves."" Policing and Society"
