A new publication, Report on Indicators of School Crime and Safety: 2022, provides official estimates on school crime and safety. It examines data on violent deaths and school shootings, nonfatal criminal victimization, bullying victimization, and teacher victimization. The report also presents statistics on discipline problems, gangs, hate-related speech, possession of weapons, and use and availability of illegal drugs, as well as data that reflect student perceptions about their personal safety at school.
Indicator 2: Incidence of Victimization at School and Away From School features data from BJS’s National Crime Victimization Survey (NCVS).
Each of the 23 indicators is presented separately, and all indicators can be found in the Condition of Education on the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES) website.
This report is the 25th in a series of annual publications produced jointly by BJS and NCES. It serves as a reference for policymakers and practitioners to develop effective programs and policies aimed at violence and school crime prevention.
