This report from the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES) takes a critical look at data from the 2007 School Crime Supplement to the National Crime Victimization Survey. Authored by Jill Fleury DeVoe and Lynn Bauer, the report was released in July 2010 and it provides findings on "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." The report includes a two-page "Highlights" section, tables, figures, and five appendices that report on selected items from the Survey's questionnaire. The report will be invaluable for school administrators, educational policy analysts, and others working in related fields.
