BJS and the Department of Education’s National Center for Education Statistics seek comments regarding the proposed collection of information about crimes that occurred at or near a school and other characteristics of school crime.
The School Crime Supplement (SCS) asks respondents ages 12 through 18 questions on preventive measures used by schools; students’ participation in afterschool activities; students’ perceptions of safety and belonging in school; students’ perception of school rules and enforcement of these rules; the presence of weapons, illegal and prescription drugs (including opioids), alcohol, and gangs in schools; student bullying; hate-related incidents; and the fear of victimization at school.
Submit your comments to the Office of Management and Budget through the Federal Register by August 19, 2024.
The Bureau of Justice Statistics of the U.S. Department of Justice is the principal federal agency responsible for collecting, analyzing, and disseminating reliable statistics on crime and criminal justice in the United States. Kevin M. Scott, PhD, is the acting director.
