Report Details Crime on University and K12 Campuses
Crime in the nation’s schools and college campuses has declined over the past two decades, according to a new report from the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES). However, the report also shows racial disparities in student discipline and a significant increase in the number of forcible sex crimes reported on college campuses.
The new report, Indicators of School Crime and Safety 2015, is the 18th in a series of annual publications produced jointly by NCES, in the U.S. Department of Education’s Institute of Education Sciences, and the Bureau of Justice Statistics (BJS) in the U.S. Department of Justice.
