TY - JOUR PY - 2012// TI - Hate Crimes on Campus: Racial/Ethnic Diversity and Campus Safety JO - Journal of interpersonal violence A1 - Stotzer, Rebecca L. A1 - Hossellman, Emily SP - 644 EP - 661 VL - 27 IS - 4 N2 - Colleges and universities across the US have prioritized minority enrollments in their recruitment strategies, but theories offer to possible outcomes of increasing diversity on campus-increased racial harmony or increased racial tension. This study examines the impact of racial diversity on the reported number of hate crimes that occur on campus. Findings suggest that those schools that are most successful in recruiting the hardest to recruit minorities (Black and Latino students) report fewer hate crimes on campus. Implications for campus climate and racial dynamics on campus, as well as future research, are discussed.
