Student Reports of Bullying in 2001
The National Center for Education Statistics has just released 'Student Reports of Bullying: Results from the 2001 School Crime Supplement to the National Crime Victimization Survey.' This publication uses data from the 2001 School Crime Supplement (SCS) to the National Crime Victimization Survey (NCVS) to examine the prevalence and nature of bullying. Bullying, as reported by students ages 12 through 18, is examined in relation to student characteristics, school characteristics, and criminal victimization. In addition, the report explores other behaviors that were reported by the bullied student, such as fear, avoidance behavior, weapon carrying, and academic grades. This report examines student reports of being bullied by direct (i.e. physical) means only, by indirect means (such as social exclusion and rejection) only, and by both direct and indirect means.
