Gun crime in America remains a major issue, with gun deaths being historically high. There are organizations in the US that are trying to reduce gun violence with bold new solutions. Some of the most innovative of these organizations are US colleges. Certain colleges are going above and beyond to find ways to improve public safety from gun crime. This article will highlight 30 of the best.
Featured Programs
To some, it may seem impossible to reduce the epidemic of gun violence in America. This is mainly because the Constitution protects gun rights. The colleges listed are working to reduce gun crime without impeding constitutional rights. They are laying out roadmaps that proactively increase gun safety without compromising individual freedoms.
The colleges that have placed the highest on this list can show that their work in reducing gun violence is broad and actionable. The schools that are working on measures and programs that are practical to put in place have been given precedence. This approach ensures that the highest-ranking colleges are the most likely to enact change regarding gun crime.
Any student who wants to attend a college that focuses on reducing the risk of gun violence would benefit from attending any of the colleges ahead. But, it’s also possible that none of the colleges ahead are right for you. If that’s the case, then this ranking can still be a vital tool in your college search.
Each entry includes a detailed summary of what the college is doing to prevent gun crime. These have been included to compare and contrast with your college options. If any college you’re considering attending is similarly enacting firearm safety activities as the 30 colleges ahead, that’s a strong sign that it’s worth attending.
Methodology
The entries in this ranking were initially identified through a range of sources that highlighted the following:
- Colleges that are undertaking gun safety measures
- Colleges that have strong activist traditions
- Colleges that have a focus on preventing violence in general
These sources are as follows:
- Unigo, The 10 Most Politically Active Schools
- Cappex, 2020 Best Colleges for Advocacy & Social Activism
- CM’s Top 10 Schools for Activists
- The Higher Education Center for Alcohol and Other Drug Abuse and Violence Prevention, Preventing Violence and Promoting Safety in Higher Education Settings
- University Business, How 3 universities are reacting to gun violence outside their campuses
- Inside Higher Ed, Preventing Gun Violence on Campus
- The Princeton Review, Most Politically Active Students
- Higher Ed Dive, How colleges are trying to prevent the next mass shooting
- U.S. News, What to Know About Gun Policies on College Campuses
We then researched further to evaluate the breadth of their gun violence prevention activities. This research formed the final basis for inclusion on this list.
Lastly, any college that was featured on the following list of universities that allow concealed guns on campus was disqualified due to the risk that these policies pose.
The colleges ahead have been ranked with the following criteria:
- Evidence of creating practical gun violence reduction initiatives
- Evidence of a strong history of gun violence reduction activity
- Innovation in creating solutions
- Aggregated ranking on the methodology lists
