A Profile of Criminal Incidents at School: Results From the 2003-05 National Crime Victimization Survey Crime Incident Report (NCES 2010-318)

Sponsored by the U.S. Department of Justice, Bureau of Justice Statistics, the National Crime Victimization Survey (NCVS) is the primary source of information on criminal victimization and criminal incidents in the United States. This statistical analysis report uses NCVS data from three calendar years, 2003–05, to examine a range of characteristics of criminal incidents that occur at school, such as the school location where the incident occurred, time of day when the incident occurred, whether the police were notified about the incident, and characteristics of offenders including their age, race, and whether they had a weapon during the incident.
