N2  - Despite the exceptionally low rate of homicide on college and university campuses, a few high-profile murder sprees have altered the once care-free sense of safety for many students along with their worried parents. In this article, we examine the common characteristics of multiple-victim campus homicides, particularly shootings, analyzing the right-skewed age distribution of the perpetrators, as well as the overrepresentation of current and former graduate and professional students among the assailants. Finally, responses to the perceived threat are evaluated for effectiveness.<p />  <p>Language: en</p>
