Abstract
While bicycle theft is nationally perceived as a low-priority offense, it is the number one type of property crime on college campuses. Despite the prevalence of bicycle theft on college campuses, research on the crime is limited. This study uses data on bicycle theft crime locations on the California State University, Sacramento campus over a five and one-half year period. Bicycle theft crime locations were analyzed separately by location and level of guardianship. Locations with lower guardianship levels had higher bicycle theft crimes than locations with higher guardianship levels.
