This report
presents information on personal student victimization from the
1993 National Household Education Survey (NHES), based on the responses
of 6,504 students in grades 6 through 12 who were surveyed. The
data indicate that unsafe conditions at school are a reality for
most students in the United States. The report found that 56 percent
of the respondents had personally witnessed some type of crime or
victimization at school, including bullying, physical attack, or
robbery, and that 71 percent reported that such incidents happened
at their schools. Nearly 25 percent of students reported worrying
about becoming victims of crime or threats at school, while 12 percent
reported being victimized at school. More elementary, middle, and
junior high school students reported being worried about becoming
victims at school
than did senior high school students. The report also found that
students at private schools were less likely to witness, worry about,
or experience victimization at school, and that girls were less
likely than boys to be victimized. A discussion of survey methodology
and data reliability is included. (MDM)
