U.S. schools are safer than they have ever been, reports The Crime Report. Crime in schools has declined during the past two decades, says the recently
published federal report “Indicators of School Crime and Safety
2015." In 2014, students 12 to 18 experienced 33 victimizations per 1,000
students at school, a decline of 82 percent from 181 per 1,000 in
1992. Between the 1999-2000 and 2013-14 school years, the percentage of
public school students who reported bullying occurred at school at least once
per week decreased from 29 to 16 percent.
The bad news writes the
U.S. Education Department's David Esquith for the Juvenile Justice Information
Exchange, is that large numbers of students are losing precious instructional
time because they are suspended or expelled, especially African-American and
Hispanic students.
