The National Center for Education Statistics (NCES) has released a report based on a survey conducted in the summer of 1997 on violence in US public elementary and secondary schools. The Principal/School Disciplinarian Survey on School Violence questioned 1,234 principals or school disciplinarians about the actual number of specific crimes in their school, their perceptions about discipline issues at their school, the types of disciplinary actions pursued, and the security prevention measures undertaken. The report includes tables and figures that allow for a comparison of crime in schools by size, socio-economic status, region, and grade level, among other characteristics.
