Abstract: The School Crime Supplement (SCS) is a supplement to the National Crime Victimization Survey and collects, analyzes, publishes and disseminates school-related victimizations for students 12 to 18 years old. The primary purpose of the SCS is to obtain information about school-related victimizations. This information helps policymakers, academic researchers, practitioners at the federal, state, and local levels, and special interest groups, who are concerned with crime in schools, make informed decisions about policies and programs. The Bureau of Justice Statistics (BJS) is authorized to collect statistics on victimization under Title 42, United States Code, Section 3732 of the Justice Systems Improvement Act of 1979. Title 1 of the Education Sciences Reform Act (ESRA) mandates that the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES) collect, report, analyze, and disseminate statistical data regarding education in the United States.

Burden Reduction Due to:

Short Statement: The increase in the respondent burden from 1,773 hours to 2,444 hours is attributed to the increase in the NCVS sample. Approximately, the number of persons in the household who are 12 through 18 years old that will be eligible for the supplement will increase by about 51% from 9,552 respondents in 2013 to about 14,461 respondents in 2015. This increase is attributable to the 2013 NCVS Sample Boost in 11 states from July 2013 to December 2015 to test the feasibility of collecting sub-national estimates of victimization.
