The School Crime Supplement12 collects data on
the percentage of students ages 12–18 who reported criminal victimization at school13 during the previous
6 months. In addition to the total percentages reported by students, victimization is also reported by type,
namely theft,14 violent victimization,15 and serious
violent victimization.16 Results from the most recent
data collection show that in 2011, approximately 4 percent of students ages 12–18 reported being victimized at school during the previous 6 months. Three percent of students reported theft, 1 percent reported violent victimization, and one-tenth of 1 percent reported serious violent victimization (figure 3.1 and table 3.1).
In 2011, reports on the prevalence of victimization varied by some school and student characteristics. Differences were observed by school type in the reporting of victimization in 2011. A higher percentage of students attending public schools reported being victimized at school compared with students attending private schools (4 percent vs. 2 percent). The percentage of students reporting theft was also higher at public schools (3 percent) than at private schools (1 percent) in 2011.
There were some measurable differences in student reports of victimization by grade in 2011. For example,

1 Serious violent crimes are also included in violent crimes.
NOTE: “Total victimization” includes theft and violent crimes. “Theft” includes attempted and completed purse-snatching, completed pickpocketing, and all attempted and completed thefts, excluding motor vehicle theft. Theft does not include robbery in which the threat or use of force is involved. “Serious violent victimization” includes rape, sexual assault, robbery, and aggravated assault. “Violent victimization” includes serious violent crimes and simple assault. “At school” includes in the school building, on school property, on a school bus, and, from 2001 onward, going to and from school. Detail may not sum to totals due to rounding, and students’ reports of “theft,” “violent,” and “serious violent” may not sum to “total” victimization because respondents could report more than one type of victimization.

Among female students, the percentage who reported being victimized at school also decreased by more than half, from 9 percent in 1995 to 3 percent in 2011.
