The nature of violence within universities in Turkey is an under-researched area. This qualitative study explored the nature of campus violence and its prevention in Turkey. Study results illuminate the nature and forms of violence on campus, and reveal informal and formal structures within the university that address violence prevention. Regarding safety and violence prevention on campus, study participants perceived (a) inadequate university response, (b) lack of policies and procedures, and (c) lack of training about responding to and preventing violence. Perceptions about feeling safe and reporting violence varied based on participant gender. Implications for practice and research are discussed
