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.

Short Statement:
This burden estimate assumes that the total NCVS sample from January through June 2017 will be approximately 108,415 households yielding approximately 14,815 persons age 12-18 in NCVS interviewed households. Based on the 2015 SCS data collection, we expect that about 60% or 8,889 of the 14,815 NCVS persons ages 12-18 will complete an SCS interview. The decrease in the respondent burden from 2,444 hours to 1,973 hours is attributed to the time needed to complete an SCS interview and to declining NCVS and SCS response rates. The decrease in respondent burden is also due to a more accurate estimate of the time needed to complete the 2017 SCS by using time stamp data from the 2015 collection instead of the estimated time used to calculate the 2015 SCS burden estimates. 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 59% from 9,295 respondents in 2015 to about 14,815 respondents in 2017. This increase is attributable to the increase in sample size for the NCVS from 2015 to 2017.
