This report presents the first analysis of the 2000
School Survey on Crime and Safety (SSOCS). SSOCS is a
nationally representative sample of public elementary
and secondary school principals. Principals were asked
about the amount of crime and violence, disciplinary
actions, prevention programs and policies, and other
school characteristics. While the SSOCS collects a
wide variety of information, this report focuses on
the violence that occurred in American public schools
during the 1999-2000. To view the PDF of this report,
