Description

School crime and violence continue to be a major concern of educators, policymakers, administrators, and parents. Understanding the scope and nature of criminal incidents perpetrated at school is an essential step in developing solutions to address the issues concerning school crime and violence. Title 1 of the Education Sciences and Reform Act (P.L. 107-279) mandates that the NCES collect, report, analyze and disseminate statistical data related to education in the U.S. In particular, it requires the examination of the characteristics and nature of criminal incidents at school, including but not limited to, the frequency and seriousness of violence affecting students, the relationship between victims and offenders, demographic characteristics of victims and offenders, and weapons used in incidents of crime at school. Much of what is known about school crime focuses on specific victim and school characteristics, student avoidance behaviors, and school conditions associated with victimization at school. For example, Bauer et al. (2008) found that, in the 2005-06 school year, about 4 percent of students ages 12 through 18 reported that they were victims of any crime at school. Although these victim-centered analyses are an important contribution to school violence literature, they provide a limited understanding of the scope and nature of criminal victimization precisely because they do not include data on attributes of the incidents (Anderson and Umberson 2001; Archer and Grascia 2006). For example, school administrators may want to know where incidents of crime at school occur so that prevention efforts can be directed most efficiently. In their analysis of 2001 NCVS data, Snyder and Sickmund (2006) found that about half of all violent crimes and over half of all thefts experienced by students occurred in school or when students were on their way to or from school. Several studies have also found that the areas surrounding schools are associated with higher rates of crime and that patterns varied at different times of day (Gouvis-Roman 2002; Kautt and Roncek 2007). Information that encompasses incident characteristics, such as that contained in this report, complements existing data on school crime and broadens the public's understanding of students' perceptions of their victimization and their school environment (Elliott, Hamburg, and Williams 1998).
