Statistical Analysis Center Title: Crime on School Campuses 2005-2010 Summary: Schools should provide safe environments for students to learn, grow and prepare for the future. However, certain types of crime, such as property crimes are more likely to affect a juvenile while they are at school than anywhere else (Robers, Zhang & Truman, 2010). School crime can negatively affect students, teachers and the surrounding community. To ensure schools offer a secure refuge for learning, research should uncover the extent to which various crimes occur and estimate the impact of various school based initiatives. This publication highlights the differences between crime occurring on school campuses in comparison to other locations. Policymakers, school officials and law enforcement need to have an understanding of the prevalence and scope of school-based campus crime to appropriately address it. Differences exist between the culture of various geographic areas in Idaho, as well as how students behave within different age groups. Whether or not students commonly bring weapons to school and the types of weapons most often confiscated are affected largely by the culture of the area, influencing whether or not the student has access to guns and/or other weapons. For example, Idaho, Wyoming, Montana and Nevada have higher rates of students carrying guns to school than other states in the nation (Robers et al., 2010). In addition, teachers of elementary age school children face different types of offenses than secondary school teachers. More bullying is reported in elementary school, but physical assault is more common in upper grades. Details: Meridian, ID: Idaho State Police, Statistical Analysis Center, 2011. 32p.
