SuperCharger Posted November 27, 2007 Share Posted November 27, 2007 A great topic for conversation but really has no place in the Sean Taylor tribute thread. http://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/preview/mmwrhtml/mm5329a1.htm The CDC has compile statistics on school violence from 1991 to 2003. At the bottom of that page you see a nice chart of data. What I found alarming... In 2003 9.2% of students surveyed reported being threatened or injured with a weapon (e.g., a gun, knife, or club) on school property. 6.5% of females and 11.6% of males. 7.8% of Whites, 10.9% of Blacks and 9.4% of Hispanics. 12.1% of 9th graders, 9.2% of 10th graders, 7.3% of 11th graders and 6.3% of 12th graders. The decline in violence as the grade increases could be related to the drop out rate of the student most likely to be violent. IMHO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
