This paper explains that criminal acts, which reflect the surrounding society such as assaults, murders, robberies and vandalism,
have increased markedly on campuses. Therefore, schools are struggling with whether to continue the policy promoting
gun-free schools, which also means that the campus police do not have guns. The author points out that the campus community cannot be so naive as to believe that campus policemen who do not carry
handguns can help prevent or crime or protect innocent people; towns people would not want their police not to carry handguns. The paper stresses that campus crimes will not decline if all police officers begin carrying handguns, but the crime rate most assuredly will not decline if they don't either.
