Report Provides Information on Crimes in Schools
December 14, 2009
The Office of Justice Programs' Bureau of Justice Statistics, in collaboration with the National Center for Education Statistics, has published "Indicators of School Crime and Safety, 2009."
"Schools should be safe havens where young people can learn and prosper, and anything less than that is unacceptable," Attorney General Eric Holder and Secretary of Education Arne Duncan declared, announcing the release of the report . The report draws on federally funded studies to provide detailed statistical information on the nature of crime in schools and school environments and responses to violence and crime at school.
