National Crime Victimization Survey: School Crime Supplement Series
Series Information:
Criminal activity at school poses an obvious threat to the safety of students and can act as a significant
barrier to the education process. In order to study the relationship between victimization at school
and the school environment, and to monitor changes in student experiences with victimization,
accurate information regarding its incidence must be collected.
The Census Bureau conducts an ongoing survey called the National Crime Victimization Survey
(NCVS) for the Bureau of Justice Statistics (BJS). This survey is a major source of statistical
information about the nature and extent of crime throughout the United States. Periodically, along
with the regular NCVS information, additional information is obtained about specific issues related
to crime using a supplemental survey instrument. The school crime supplement is one such survey.

Abstract
The primary purpose of the School Crime Supplement is to obtain additional information about
school-related victimizations so that policymakers, academic researchers, practitioners at the Federal,
-4-
- Study 23041 state and local levels, and special interest groups who are concerned with crime in schools can make
informed decisions concerning policies and programs. The SCS asks questions related to students'
experiences with, and perceptions of crime and safety at school, including preventive measures
employed by schools, students' participation in after school activities, students' perception of school
rules and enforcement of these rules, the presence of weapons, drugs, alcohol, and gangs in school,
student bullying, hate-related incidents, and attitudinal questions relating to the fear of victimization
at school. These responses are linked to the NCVS survey instrument responses for a more complete
understanding of the individual student's circumstances.
The 2007 School Crime Supplement (SCS) was the seventh implementation of an occasional
supplement to the annual NCVS to obtain specific information about school-related victimization and
disorder on a national level. The SCS was fielded first in 1989, and then again in 1995, 1999, 2001,
2003, 2005 and 2007. The initial fielding in 1989 was conducted by the BJS in conjunction with the
National Institute of Justice (NIJ). The 1995 supplement was jointly sponsored by the BJS and the
National Center for Education Statistics. The 1999 SCS was sponsored by the National Center for
Education Statistics (NCES), which plans to conduct the SCS as a supplement to the NCVS every
two years. Since the SCS is a supplement to the NCVS, it is conducted under the authority of title
42, United States Code, sections 3732. Only Census employees sworn to preserve confidentiality
may see the completed questionnaires.

Universe:
NCVS interviews are conducted with each household member age 12 years old or older. In 2007
only household members ages 12 to 18 were given an SCS interview, following a completed NCVS
interview. Persons ages 12 to 18 who were in primary or secondary education programs leading to
a high school diploma (elementary through high school), and who had been enrolled sometime during
the six months prior to the interview, were administered the 2007 SCS questionnaire. Persons who
had dropped out of school; been expelled or suspended from school; or who were temporarily absent
from school for any other reason, such as illness or vacation, were eligible as long as they were
attending school at any time during the six months prior to the month of the interview. Students who
were home schooled were not included past the screening questions since it was determined that
many of the questions in the SCS were not relevant to their situation.
In 1989 and 1995, NCVS sample household members age 12-19 were considered eligible to receive
the SCS. However, it was determined that most 19 year olds did not meet the eligibility criteria of
being currently enrolled in a post-secondary school so the upper range was lowered to 18 years old
for the 1999 SCS.
School, for SCS purposes, was defined as any institution designed to advance a person toward a
high school diploma. This included graded public or private elementary schools, middle schools, high
schools, home schools, Church schools, and vocational or trade schools that led to a high school
diploma. Not included were persons attending colleges or universities, except in cases where a high
school student was taking an upper level course before the high school diploma was obtained;
persons seeking their GED; persons attending night school; and persons attending vocational trade,
business, correspondence, or other specialized schools that are not associated with academics such
as beauty schools and mechanic schools.

Data Collection Methodology
Time Method:
Cross-section
Data Collector:
United States Department of Commerce. Bureau of the Census
Sampling Procedure:
The SCS was administered at the end of the NCVS interview for each eligible respondent. The 2007
SCS was conducted from January through June 2007.
Each month the U.S. Census Bureau selects respondents for the NCVS using a "rotating panel"
design. Households are randomly selected and all age-eligible individuals become part of the panel.
The sample of households is divided into groups or rotations. Once in the sample, respondents are
interviewed every six months for a total of seven interviews over a three-year period. The first interview
is considered the incoming rotation. The second through the seventh interview are in the continuing
rotations. The first interview is face-to-face; the rest are by telephone unless the circumstances call
for an in-person interview. After the seventh interview the household leaves the panel and a new
household is rotated into the sample. The rotation scheme is used to reduce respondent burden that
may result if they were to remain permanently in the sample. The SCS was administered at all NCVS
households interviewed from January through June 2007.
Mode of Data Collection:
For both the NCVS and the SCS, data collection was done using computer-assisted telephone
interviewing and computer-assisted personal interviewing.
Each SCS interview took an average of about 10 minutes to complete.
Type of Research Instrument:
Structured
Weighting:
Because the National Crime Victimization Survey and School Crime Supplement Survey sample
represent the U.S. population 12 years and older, population estimates can be generated from the
sample cases. That is, the data collected can be used to make inferences about the 12- to 18-year-old
student population in 2007. Before such inferences can be made, it is important to adjust the sample
to assure that the sample is similar to the entire population of such students. Each person interviewed
in the survey represents a probable percentage of all cases if the total population were to be
interviewed. Multiplying each case by a factor (i.e., weight) adjusts the unweighted counts to the
population size. The final weight adjusts for unequal probabilities of selection. The SCS public use
file provides two weights which are used depending whether NCVS or SCS estimates are being
generated.
The weights created for the SCS are a combination of household-level and person-level adjustment
factors. In the NCVS, adjustments were made to account for both household and person
non-interviews. Additional factors were then applied to reduce the variance of the estimate by
correcting for the differences between sample distribution of age, race, and sex, and known population
distributions of these characteristics. This also reduced the bias due to undercoverage of various
portions of the population. The resulting weights were assigned to all interviewed households and
persons on the file.
Modifications to the regular NCVS weighting program were necessary for the weighting of the SCS
file. Modified weighting procedures were necessary because of the following differences between
SCS and NCVS:
The eligible population for SCS differs from the eligible population for NCVS.
A person can respond to the NCVS and not the SCS.
-6-
- Study 23041 A special weighting adjustment was performed on the SCS data. Noninterview adjustment factors
were computed to adjust the weighting for SCS noninterviews. Two SCS person weights were
computed as a result of applying special adjustment factors to the NCVS final person weight.
The first SCS weight computed was derived using the final NCVS person weight that was calculated
for all interviewed persons in interviewed continuing households and applying a within-SCS
noninterview adjustment factor. This weight, which should be used if producing NCVS estimates
using only the continuing rotations, is located in the NCVS section of the NCVS/SCS person
record.
The second SCS weight was derived using the final NCVS person weight that was calculated for
all interviewed persons in interviewed continuing and incoming households with a within-SCS
noninterview adjustment factor applied. This weight, which should be used if producing SCS
estimates using all rotations, is located in the SCS section of the NCVS/SCS person record.
A third weight, the incident weight, is most frequently used to compute estimates of the
characteristics of crime incidents (e.g., time of occurrence).
Comparisons of student victimization rates among the seven supplements should be made with
caution. For the 1989 and the 1995 SCS, 19-year old household members also were considered
eligible for the SCS interview. This upper age range was lowered to 18 for eligibility in the 1999 SCS
because it was determined that most 19-year-olds did not meet the other eligibility requirement of
being currently enrolled in a secondary school. In addition, due to the redesign of the NCVS in 1992,
NCVS item-based cross-year changes in reported victimization rates, or lack thereof, may only be
the result of changes in how the questions were asked and not of actual changes in the incidence
of victimization. Because NCVS questionnaires were completed before students were given the SCS,
it is likely that these changes to the NCVS victimization screening procedures differentially affected
responses to the 1989 and 1995 SCS victimization items. Other items, such as fear at school,
avoidance of places at school, and reports of gangs at school, followed the victimization items on
the SCS survey.
Notes
SURVEY METHODOLOGY
Due to changes in survey methodology in 2006 that mainly affected rural areas, estimates for 2006
and subsequent years for rural areas are not comparable to previous years. As a result, this variable
may not accurately reflect the extent of victimization in urban, suburban and rural areas. Therefore,
care should be taken in interpreting the results of this variable. See Criminal Victimization, 2006
Technical Notes for an explanation of the changes to the survey and their impacts on estimates of
crime.
Notes
QUESTIONNAIRE DEVELOPMENT
The Bureau of Justice Statistics, the National Center for Education Statistics, and the Census Bureau
jointly designed the survey questionnaire. Since many of the questions used in the 1995 survey were
incorporated in the 1999 instrument, only minimal testing of the questionnaire was conducted for
1999 and subsequent years.
All of the SCS instruments differ in some respects. Due to the significant changes that occurred to
the NCVS data collection procedure and instrument during the 1992 redesign, caution should be
used when comparing results from the 1989 SCS to later years for the SCS.
The final questionnaire consisted of eight sections. They included:
-7-
- Study 23041 Screen Questions - The first section contained the screen questions which were asked to determine
if the respondent was eligible for the SCS.
Environmental Questions - This section obtained selected information on the type of school the
student attended, including whether the school was private or public, the grade levels taught,
measures taken by the school to ensure student safety, and the availability of drugs and alcohol
in school.
Fighting, Bullying, and Hate Behaviors - The third section contained questions related to students'
experiences with physical fights, bullying, and hate-related words and hate-related grafitti at school.
Avoidance - The fourth section contained avoidance questions which identified the effect of fear
of crime on behavior. The avoidance questions were designed to determine if students stayed
away from school or particular places at school, or avoided participating in extra-curricular activities
at their school for fear of being attacked or harmed.
Fear - The fifth section asked questions pertaining to how often student feared an attack or being
harmed.
Weapons - The sixth section asked questions pertaining to weapons. The purpose of these
questions was to determine if students brought weapons to school for protection.
Gangs - The seventh section contained questions relating to the presence of organized gangs at
school and whether students came into contact with gangs or gang members at school.
Student Characteristics - The eighth section contained questions on the respondent's attendance,
grades, and plans regarding college.
Notes
GENERAL INTERVIEWING SEQUENCE
The general interview sequence for the SCS was to ask all appropriate NCVS questions of one
household member and if eligible for the SCS, ask all appropriate SCS questions before proceeding
on to the next household member. This is done to avoid any increase in NCVS nonresponse due to
the supplemental questions. The NCVS-1, the screen questionnaire, describes criminal incidents
using everyday language in order to ascertain whether the respondent has been victimized during
the six months prior to interview. The screening section relies on a series of cues and questions to
describe various behaviors and characteristics of a criminal event.
Any positive responses are followed by the incident report (NCVS-2), detailing the specific
characteristics of each incident. Once the NCVS data collection process is complete, each eligible
respondent is administered the SCS. For more detail on the NCVS consult the codebook for the
National Crime Victimization Survey, 2006 [Record-Type Files] [ICPSR 22560].
Notes
PROXY INTERVIEWS
The same proxy respondent rules apply to the SCS that apply to the NCVS. Proxy interviews are
interviews conducted in which one household member answers the questions for another in the
household. For the SCS, household members ages 12 to 18 were interviewed directly except in
limited situations in which proxy interviews were accepted. If the interview was a proxy for the NCVS,
a proxy interview was acceptable for the SCS. Proxy interviews were allowed only under the following
circumstances:
If a child was 12 or 13 years old, a self-response interview was attempted. If parents refused to
let the interviewer speak to the 12 or 13 year old, a proxy interview could be conducted with the
parent.
If a household member between ages 12 to 18 years old was temporarily absent and not expected
to return to the sample household at all during the interview period, a proxy interview was
acceptable.
-8-
- Study 23041 A proxy interview was accepted if a household member was considered physically or mentally
unable to answer the questions. Specifically, the person must have been unable to be interviewed
due to health problems or mental incompetence. Further, this condition must have been continuous
during the entire interview period and did not include colds or flu, temporary incapacitation, or
problems that might have been aggravated because the respondent found the questions upsetting.
If an interview could not be obtained, and one of the above situations did not exist, a proxy interview
was not allowable and the respondent was considered a noninterview. Proxy interviews accounted
for 195 of the 6,503 interviews in 2007.
Noninterviews
A person was considered a noninterview for the SCS if:
the person was an NCVS noninterview,
the person was an NCVS interview but refused or was unavailable for the SCS interview,
the person was physically or mentally unable to answer the questions and no proxy was available,
or
an acceptable proxy respondent refused to give a proxy SCS interview.
Interviewers were instructed to complete selected items on the SCS questionnaire to identify each
type of noninterview. Of the 11,161 eligible respondents, there were 4,658 noninterview persons, or
41.7 percent of the eligible SCS sample.
Responses to both the NCVS and SCS are confidential by law by the BJS under title 42, United
States Code, sections 3735 and 3789g, and by the Census Bureau under title 13, United States
Code, section 9. Interviewers are instructed to conduct interviews in privacy unless respondents
specifically agree to permit others to be present. Most interviews for the NCVS and SCS were
conducted by telephone, and most questions required "yes" or "no" answers, thereby affording
respondents a further measure of privacy. By law, identifiable information about respondents may
not be disclosed or released to others for any purpose.
Data Appraisal Information

Response Rate:
Of the 11,161 NCVS respondents eligible for the SCS supplement, 6,503 (58.3%) completed the
SCS interview. The remaining 41.7% were noninterviews.
Unit response rates indicate how many sampled units completed interviews. Because interviews
with students could only be completed in households that responded to the NCVS, the unit completion
rate for the SCS reflects both the NCVS household interview completion rate and the student interview
completion rate. See Appendix I - Response Rates. (The response rate for households with students
between the ages of 12 and 19 (for the 1989 and 1995 SCS) and between the ages of 12 and 18
(for the 1999 SCS) was not calculated, but is assumed to be the same as that of all households. The
reported unit response rates are unweighted.)
In 1992, the National Crime Survey (NCS) was redesigned and renamed the National Crime
Victimization Survey (NCVS). Because of the redesign, victimization estimates from the 1995 and
later SCS cannot be readily compared to the 1989 estimates. One of the many changes made during
the redesign was the implementation of a different screening procedure meant to elicit a more
complete tally of victimization incidents than did the one used in the 1989 NCS. For instance, the
screener used in 1995 and later specifically asked whether respondents had been raped or otherwise
sexually assaulted, whereas the 1989 screener did not. Therefore, cross-year changes between preand post-redesign stages in reported victimization rates, or lack thereof, may only be the result of
changes in how the questions were asked (For more details about this issue, see Kinderman, Lynch,
Cantor (1997)).
-9-
- Study 23041 For most types of crime, the redesigned methods elicit more reports of victimizations. However, the
effect is not uniform across all types of crime and sub-populations. For example, some crime
categories, such as assault, are affected more by the NCVS redesign than others, such as robbery.
Other effects of the NCVS redesign include improved estimates of certain hard to enumerate crimes
such as domestic violence, rape and sexual attack (Rand, Lynch and Cantor, 1997).
Because NCVS questionnaires are completed before students are given the SCS questionnaire, it
is likely that changes to NCVS victimization screening procedures completed in 1992 differentially
affected responses in 1995 and subsequent SCS victimization items. While the assumption is not
possible to test, it is nonetheless reasonable to expect that by providing a more detailed victimization
screening instrument in the 1995 and later NCVS, respondents in these years had improved
victimization recall than did 1989 SCS respondents.
Estimates of Sampling Error:
The sample of students selected for each SCS is just one of many possible samples that could have
been selected. It is possible that estimates from a given SCS student sample may differ from estimates
that would have been produced from other student samples. This type of variability is called sampling
error, or the standard error, because it arises from using a sample of students rather than all students.
The standard error is a measure of the variability of a parameter estimate. It indicates how much
variation there is in the population of possible estimates of a parameter for a given sample size. The
probability that a complete census count would differ from the sample estimate by less than 1 standard
error is about 68 percent. The chance that the difference would be less than 1.65 standard errors is
about 90 percent, and that the difference would be less than 1.96 standard errors, about 95 percent.
Standard errors are typically developed assuming that the sample is drawn purely at random. The
sample for the SCS was not a simple random sample, however. The NCVS and SCS rely on a
stratified, multi-stage cluster sample design. Standard errors should be calculated by taking this
"design effect" into consideration. Failure to take it into account will compromise statistical tests.
Calculating standard errors by assuming a simple random sample (which is the default in most
statistical software packages) when in fact a cluster sample was used results in standard errors that
are smaller than when taking cluster sampling into consideration. Further, estimates are generally
computed on weighted rather than raw data, which are sums of the weights of the cases selected.
Computing standard errors on these sums as if they were independent observations would produce
artificially small results and thus compromise the statistical tests involved.
Calculation of the standard errors requires procedures that are markedly different from the ones used
when the data are from a simple random sample. One can use direct variance calculation methods
designed for complex survey designs, or compute statistics and standard errors by using generalized
variance function (gvf) constant parameters.
For additional discussion of the gvf and calculating standard errors, see Appendix II - Standard Errors.

Data Files Description

File-by-File Description
File Name:
National Crime Victimization Survey: School Crime Supplement, 2007
Contents of Files:
The SCS public use file is a six-month person-level file containing data for: 1) all households containing
SCS-eligible persons (interviewed and noninterviewed, incoming (unbounded) and continuing
rotations), 2) all SCS-eligible persons (interviewed and noninterviewed) within these households,
and 3) all incidents reported by the SCS-eligible persons.
The file does not contain information for any households that did not have SCS-eligible persons in
them, nor does it contain information for any persons within a household other than those who were
SCS-eligible. That is, if a household contained one non SCS-eligible person and one SCS-eligible
person, only the SCS-eligible person information was included as a record on the file.
NCVS data are organized in a hierarchical format. There are four unique record types:
Record Type 001, the address record, contains limited information about the household.
Record Type 002, contains the entire NCVS household record.
Record Type 003, contains the entire NCVS person record which was expanded to include the
2003 SCS information.
Record Type 004, contains the entire incident record.
For the SCS, these records were restructured into a single record for each SCS person, containing
an expanded incident record to include information on all incidents reported by that respondent in
the same record. A maximum number of nine incidents was needed to capture all the incidents
reported by a single respondent. That is, no SCS person reported more than nine incidents in 2007.
The SCS data file is rectangular where each case on the public use file represents an SCS individual
with between zero and nine incidents.
Prior to its release, the file was reviewed by the Census Bureau's Disclosure Review Board (DRB)
to ensure that the contents of the file did not violate any disclosure avoidance measures. In addition,
data that may have provided geographic information by inference were blanked because of data
confidentiality reasons.
Although the school attended was uniquely coded, the DRB mandated that this code be suppressed
in the public use file to avoid disclosure of information about any one individual.

data were checked for illegal or inconsistent code values which, when found, were recoded to missing
data values. No consistency checks were performed.
Version Statement
Version Responsibility:
Notes
The school crime supplement file is a person-level file with NCVS incident-level information appended
to each person record. Variables for a maximum of nine incidents have been appended to the person
records. The incident variables are named with a prefix of V4 and a sufix of _1 to _9. The codebook
describes only the first iteration of the incident variables. Descriptions for iterations two through nine
are excluded because they are identical to iteration one.
Notes
The records in the School Crime Supplement (SCS) 2007 represent persons interviewed in the
National Crime Victimization Survey (NCVS) during the first six months of 2007 who are 12-18 years
old.
In principle one can compare the count of SCS 2007 records with a subset of records from the NCVS
2007 and obtain the same age distribution. However, upon doing so one will find that the SCS 2007
has 161 more records. The SCS 2007 has 11,161 records; each of these represents a person 12-18
years old. The NCVS for the first six months of 2007 has 11,000 person records with ages 12-18
years.
The difference of 161 records is due to separate and distinct age allocation routines being used to
create the SCS 2007 file and the NCVS 2007 file. The allocation routine used for the SCS 2007
allocated more records to the age range of 12-18 than the NCVS 2007 routine did.
Notes
While it is not necessary to match the SCS 2007 file to the NCVS 2007 files - virtually all the variables
from the NCVS are included with the SCS - it can be done. To match the SCS 2007 file to the NCVS
2007 person record-type file, create an NCVS ID FOR PERSONS (IDPER) by concatenating:
SAMPLE NUMBER
SCRAMBLED CONTROL NUMBER
HOUSEHOLD NUMBER
PANEL AND ROTATION GROUP
PERSON LINE NUMBER
The resulting variable is the "key" for matching to the NCVS 2007 person record-type file.

VARIABLE CHANGES, NEW VARIABLES AND DELETED VARIABLES
CHANGES TO VARIABLES
-------------------Several variables in the 2007 SCS data differ from the 2005 SCS. Most
of the changes involve the time period that a respondent is asked to
- 14 -
- Study 23041 refer to. In the 2005 data the time period is generally the last six
months. In the 2007 data the time period that is referred to is this
school year.
SCS variables with changes from 2005 to 2007 are summarized below
using this pattern:

NEW VARIABLES
------------There are six new variables in the 2007 SCS. They refer to questions
regarding the availability of prescription drugs and harassing
acitivity using the internet/text messages.
An letter suffix on a variable name does not necessarily mean that the
variable is a continuation of the prior variable. Rather, the new variable
appears between two previously existing variables. The suffix is used so
that overall numeric sequence of the variables is maintained.

Notes:
Beginning in July 1986 the previously used PSU, segment number, check digit and serial number
are scrambled together by the Census Bureau as one variable to preserve confidentiality.
For 1980 sample-first 10 digits -- last four digits are blank (through quarter 4, 1995). For 1990
sample-all 14 digits are used (beginning quarter 3, 1995). Scrambled control number (part) - See
V2007 for last two digits of scrambled control number.
Scrambled control was expanded to 20 characters in 2005 Q1. Consequently it was defined as a
string variable.

code 612 (V4021) from 7 answer categories to 9 and from a 1 digit field to a 2 digit field. Prior to
January 1999 both Source codes 611 and 612 were single digit fields. Beginning in Census used
the extra single digit field obtained from deleting source code 611 to expand Source code 612 to a

Source code VICTIMIZATION WEIGHT

For quarters 1 and 2, 2006, adjustments were made to the final weights that impacted the weighted
crime estimates for the NCVS. This adjustment was a one-time event implemented to counteract the
effects of including the bounding interview on the NCVS PUF. Traditionally, the bounding interview
is excluded from the PUF.
Past research has shown that unbounded interviews produce higher victimization rates than bounded
interviews. Therefore a decision was made to adjust downward the estimated number of crimes
reported in the new areas to reduce the bias caused by using unbounded interviews. There is also
evidence that victimization rates may vary by the number of times the household has been interviewed.
To reflect this, the adjustment was performed by time in sample (TIS).
- 420 -
- Study 23041 The adjustments made to the final weights were based on collection-year 2003 data due to the
unavailability of the collection-year 2005 data and anomalies encountered in the 2004 data. One set
of adjustment factors was calculated for personal crimes by TIS and another for property crimes by
TIS.
These adjustment factors were applied to the final weight of persons and households. The victimization
weight contains these adjusted weights. For any other time period, the victimization weight will be
the same as the person weight or household weight for personal and property crimes, respectively.

* In 2005, the person level nonresponse rate for the 12-18 population was 29.6 percent compared to 24.2 percent in
2003 on the NCVS. This negatively affected the student completion rate because SCS eligible respondents that do not
complete their NCVS interview are not eligible for the SCS.
Appendix II Standard Errors
The gvf represents the curve fitted to the individual standard errors calculated using the Jackknife
Repeated Replication technique. The three constant parameters (a, b, and c) derived from the curve
fitting process are provided below for those who prefer to use this alternative method of calculating
standard errors:

To calculate the standard errors associated with percentages, the following formula is used:
standard error of p =
where p is the percentage of interest expressed as a proportion and y is the size of the population
to which the percentage applies. Once the standard error of the proportion is estimated, it needs to
be multiplied by 100 to make it applicable to the percentage.
To calculate the adjusted standard errors associated with population counts, the following applies:
standard error of x =
where x is the estimated number of students who experienced a given event (e.g., violent
victimization).
The U.S. Bureau of the Census has developed a set of programs to calculate NCVS generalized
variance formulae, known as SIGMA programs. To facilitate use of these formulae, spreadsheet
versions of these SIGMA programs are available on the BJS web site (www.ojp.usdoj.gov/bjs/),
which will allow users to enter gvf constants and values in appropriate cells. Spreadsheet macros
will them calculate the appropriate variances and standard errors and perform tests for any
differences requested.
