Abstract:
This report covers topics such as victimization, teacher injury, bullying and cyber-bullying, school conditions, fights, weapons, availability and student use of drugs and alcohol, student perceptions of personal safety at school, and criminal incidents at postsecondary institutions. Indicators of crime and safety are compared across different population subgroups and over time. Data on crimes that occur away from school are offered as a point of comparison where available. (CVRL Note: See also translated summaries and analyses of these indicators: the CDC’s webpage summary in “School-Associated Violent Death Study” and its analysis in Mortality and Morbidity Weekly Report, “School-Associated Student Homicides, United States, 1992—2006.”) (Author Abstract)
