Proposed Project
School Associated Violent Death
Surveillance System—Extension—
National Center for Injury Prevention
and Control (NCIPC), Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

Background and Brief Description
The Division of Violence Prevention
(DVP), National Center for Injury
Prevention and Control (NCIPC)
proposes to maintain a system for the
surveillance of school-associated
homicides and suicides. The system
will rely on existing public records and
interviews with law enforcement
officials and school officials. The
purpose of the system is to (1) estimate
the rate of school-associated violent
death in the United States and (2)
identify common features of schoolassociated violent deaths. The system
will contribute to the understanding of
fatal violence associated with schools,
guide further research in the area, and
help direct ongoing and future
prevention programs.
Violence is the leading cause of death
among young people, and increasingly
recognized as an important public
health and social issue. In 1998, over
3,500 school aged children (5 to 18
years old) in the United States died
violent deaths due to suicide, homicide,
and unintentional firearm injuries. The
vast majority of these fatal injuries were
not school associated. However,
whenever a homicide or suicide occurs
in or around school, it becomes a matter
of particularly intense public interest
and concern. NCIPC conducted the first
scientific study of school-associated
violent deaths during the 1992–99
academic years to establish the true
extent of this highly visible problem.
Despite the important role of schools as
a setting for violence research and
prevention interventions, relatively
little scientific or systematic work has

been done to describe the nature and
level of fatal violence associated with
schools. Until NCIPC conducted the first
nationwide investigation of violent
deaths associated with schools, public
health and education officials had to
rely on limited local studies and
estimated numbers to describe the
extent of school-associated violent
death.
The system will draw cases from the
entire United States in attempting to
capture all cases of school-associated
violent deaths that have occurred.
Investigators will review public records
and published press reports concerning
each school-associated violent death.
For each identified case, investigators
will also interview an investigating law
enforcement official (defined as a police
officer, police chief, or district attorney),
and a school official (defined as a school
principal, school superintendent, school
counselor, school teacher, or school
support staff) who are knowledgeable
about the case in question. Researchers
will request information on both the
victim and alleged offender(s)—
including demographic data, their
academic and criminal records, and
their relationship to one another. They
will also collect data on the time and
location of the death; the circumstances,
motive, and method of the fatal injury;
and the security and violence
prevention activities in the school and
community where the death occurred,
before and after the fatal injury event.
There are no costs to the respondents
other than their time. The total
estimated annualized burden hours are
70.
