Student Reports of Bullying: Results From the 2017 School Crime Supplement to the National Crime Victimization Survey

"The tables in this report include data from the 2017 School Crime Supplement (SCS) to the National Crime Victimization Survey (NCVS).1 These tables show the extent to which students with different characteristics report being bullied, including estimates by student sex, race/ethnicity, grade, and household income. The U.S. Census Bureau (Census) appended additional data from the 2015–16 Common Core of Data (CCD) and the 2015–16 Private School Universe Survey (PSS) to the SCS data to show the extent to which bullying victimization is reported by students in schools with different characteristics.2 School characteristics appended to the file are region; sector (public or private); locale; level; enrollment size; student-to-full-timeequivalent (FTE) teacher ratio; the percentage of combined Black/ African American, Hispanic/Latino, Asian/Native Hawaiian/Other Pacific Islander, and American Indian/Alaska Native students and students of Two or more races; and the percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-priced lunch. Not all respondents in the SCS data file could be matched to a school in the CCD or the PSS..."

Peer-to-Peer:Violence and Bullying:Examining the Federal Reponse

"Based on the evidence gathered by the Commission, we conclude that despite the harm that
peer-to-peer bullying and harassment due to a student‘s membership in certain classes, such
as race, religion, or sexual orientation, current federal laws (and the laws of many states) do
not fully protect all students from peer-to-peer bullying and harassment resulting from
animus toward their group status.

Specifically, the Commission‘s findings, by majority vote, are:

1. Bullying and harassment, including bullying and harassment based on sex, race, national
origin, disability, sexual orientation, or religion, are harmful to American youth.

2. Current federal civil rights laws do not provide the U.S. Department of Education with
jurisdiction to protect students from peer-to-peer harassment that is solely on the basis of
religion.

3. The current federal civil rights laws do not protect students from peer-to-peer
harassment that is solely on the basis of sexual orientation..."
