National Crime Victimization Survey: School Crime Supplement, 2005

This supplement to the National Crime Victimization Survey
(formerly the National Crime Surveys) was designed to collect data on
crime victimization in schools in the United States. Student
respondents were asked a series of questions to determine their school
attendance in the last six months. Other questions concerning schools
were posed including preventive measures employed by schools,
students' participation in after-school activities, students'
perception of school rules and enforcement of these rules, the
presence of weapons, drugs, alcohol, and gangs in schools, student
bullying, hate-related incidents, and attitudinal questions relating
to the fear of victimization at school. Other variables cover general
violent crimes, personal larceny crimes, and household crimes and
offer information on date, time, and place of crime. Demographic
characteristics of household members such as age, sex, race,
education, employment, household income, and marital status are
provided.
