School Crime 1991
This BJS report summarizes the responses collected by the
National Crime Victimization Survey (NCVS) in a special
supplement during the first half of 1989. The data represent an
estimated 21.6 million students, ages 12 to 19. An estimated 9%
of students, ages 12 to 19, were crime victims in or around
their school over a 6-month period: 2% reported experiencing
one or more violent crimes and 7% reported at least one property
crime. Fifteen percent of the students said their school had
gangs, and 16% claimed that a student had attacked or threatened
a teacher at their school. Nine percent of public school
students compared to 36% of private school students reported
drugs as impossible to obtain at school. This analysis accounts
for crime experienced by sex, race, Hispanic origin, and place
of residence as well as selected characteristics of public and
private schools, student's grade levels, and security measures. 9/91 NCJ 131645
