In 1998, students age 12 to 13
years, were victims of more than 2.7 million total
crimes at school (Kaufman et al., 2000). Further,
these students, while at school, were victims of
approximately 253,000 serious nonfatal violent
crimes. Between July 1, 1997 and June 30, 1998,
there were 60 school-associated violent deaths in
the United States; included were 47 homicides. Of
the 47 homicides, 35 were of school-age children
(Kaufman et al.). |
