Indicators of School Crime and Safety: 2003
National Center for Education Statistics
U.S. Dept. of Education
Key Findings
Ref:(NCES 2004004)
For youth to fulfill their potential in school, schools should
be safe and secure places for all students, teachers, and staff
members. Without a safe learning environment, teachers may have
difficulty teaching and students may have difficulty learning.
Gauging the safety of the school environment, however, may be
difficult given the large amount of attention devoted to isolated
incidents of extreme school violence nationwide.
Ensuring safer schools requires establi****ng good indicators of
the current state of school crime and safety across the nation
and periodically monitoring and updating these indicators.
Indicators of School Crime and Safety is designed to provide an
annual snapshot of specific crime and safety indicators, covering
topics such as victimization, fights, bullying, disorder, teacher
injury, weapons,student perceptions of school safety, and others.
In addition to covering a wide range of topics, the indicators
are based on information drawn from surveys of students, teachers,
and principals and data collections by federal agencies such as
the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention.
Students ages 12-18 were victims of about 2 million nonfatal
crimes of violence or theft at school in 2001, with the majority
(62 percent) of all victimizations at school being thefts.However,
this re****t is not only concerned with the safety of students
in schools. Where comparable data are available for crimes that
occur outside of school grounds, these data are offered as a point
of comparison. In fact, as the data in this re****t show, a larger
number of serious violent victimizations (that is, rape, ***ual
assault, robbery, and aggravated assault) take place away from
school than at school.1
Data on homicides and suicides at school show there were 32
school-associated violent deaths in the United States between
July 1, 1999 and June 30, 2000, including 24 homicides, 16 of which
involved school-aged children. In each school year from 1992 to 2000,
youth ages 5-19 were at least 70 times more likely to be murdered
away from school than at school. Trends in school crime over time
are also of interest to researchers, educators, and families. Data
show that the percentage of students being victimized at school has
declined over recent years. Between 1995 and 2001, the percentage
of students who re****ted being victims of crime at school decreased
from 10 percent to 6 percent. This included a decrease in theft
(from 7 percent to 4 percent) and a decrease in violent victimization
(from 3 percent to 2 percent) over the same time period.
