The School Crime Supplement to the National Crime Victimization Survey (formerly the National Crime Surveys) was designed to collect data on crime victimization in schools in the United States. Student respondents were asked a series of questions about their school attendance, preventive measures employed by schools, students' participation in after-school activities, students' perception of school rules and enforcement of these rules, the presence of weapons, drugs, alcohol, and gangs in school, student bullying, hate-related incidents, and attitudinal questions relating to the fear of victimization at school.

Effects of Crime on After-School Youth Development Programs in the United States, 1993-1994 study sought to identify appropriate actions that could be taken by law enforcement agencies and youth-development organizations to create safer places for youth, especially approaches that involved teen participants or approaches that could be carried out in partnerships between youth-serving organizations and their local law enforcement agencies.
