Students Feel Safer at School; Fewer Incidents Reported, Federal Data Show

A decades-long decline in reports of violent and non-violent student incidents continued in U.S. public schools, federal data released Tuesday show. And rates of students who report feeling unsafe at school have also declined.

In 2015, there were 33 victimizations per 1,000 students ages 12 to 18 at school, according to the report, Indicators of School Crime and Safety 2016. That's a decline from 181 victimizations per 1,000 students in 1992, an 82 percent drop, the report says.
