A Nightmare for Parents and Students

The start of college and higher education is an exciting time for students and parents alike. It is a time to learn, grow, experience, and begin adult life. For many it is a chance to be yourself, leave home for the first time, or experience programs or athletics at a higher level. College is also a time when parents worry about their children. No parent sends their child off to college thinking they will receive a phone call notifying them their child has been arrested on campus. No student or athlete thinks they will face felony or misdemeanor criminal charges for doing what thousands of other students do throughout college. Parents take time researching if the school of choice has a dangerous campus and the crime rates for the city the school is located.

Harsh Reality

The harsh reality of what occurs at colleges and university is that a large door of opportunity to get in trouble is opened. Parties, alcohol, freedom, and free time can turn into a problem with long term detrimental effects. Young adults often don’t understand or appreciate the seriousness of their actions or how long lasting the consequences can be. Scholarships, degrees, job opportunities, and their freedom can be impacted over one bad decision or circumstance. Many times, we see college students facing criminal charges for innocent acts simply because of the circumstances or people around them. College students can face a list of criminal charges or school penalties:

• Underage Drinking / Underage Consumption of Alcohol
• Possession of Drugs / Possession of Controlled Substance
• Telephone Harassment
• Rape and other Sexual Crimes
• Theft
• Shoplifting
• Driving Under the Influence
• Trespass
• Administrative Discipline
• Termination from School
• Eviction from Campus Housing
• Loss of Scholarships
