Cheating in College: Why Students Do It and What Educators Can Do about It

McCabe, Butterfield, and Treviño's Cheating in College examines the prevalence and causes of academic dishonesty in higher education. Their research, spanning two decades, reveals high rates of cheating across various institutions and student populations, exploring factors such as peer influence, pressure to succeed, and differing perceptions of what constitutes cheating. The book also investigates the roles of high school experiences, institutional policies (particularly honor codes), and faculty responses in shaping academic integrity. Furthermore, it offers practical advice for educators and administrators on creating a culture of integrity to combat cheating. Finally, the authors analyze cheating trends in specific professional schools, highlighting variations and potential contributing factors.
