NCES collects data on student criminal victimization through its sponsorship of the School Crime Supplement (SCS) to the National Crime Victimization Survey, administered by the Department of Justice, Bureau of Justice Statistics. This report provides data on student criminal victimization and the characteristics of crime victims and nonvictims; student reports of the presence of gangs and weapons and the availability of drugs at school; student reports of bullying and cyberbullying; and fear and avoidance behaviors of crime victims and nonvictims at school.
