The research project sought to obtain information from a\r\nbroad sample of high-school-aged youth to achieve diversity regarding\r\nhistory, cultural background, population size and density, urban and\r\nnon-urban mix, economic situation, and class, race, and ethnic\r\ndistributions. Data for the study were derived from two surveys\r\nconducted during the spring of 1996. The first survey was a lengthy\r\nquestionnaire that focused on exposure to weapons (primarily firearms\r\nand knives) and violence, and was completed by 733 10th- and\r\n11th-grade male students. Detail was gathered on all weapon-related\r\nincidents up to 12 months prior to the survey. The second survey,\r\nconsisting of a questionnaire completed by 48 administrators of the\r\n53 schools that the students attended, provided information regarding\r\nschool characteristics, levels of weapon-related activity in the\r\nschools, and anti-violence strategies employed by the schools. The\r\nstudent survey covered demographic characteristics of the respondent,\r\nfamily living situations, educational situations and aspirations,\r\ndrug, criminal, and gang activities, crime- and violence-related\r\ncharacteristics of family and friends, respondent's social and\r\nrecreational activities, exposure to violence generally, personal\r\nvictimization history, and possession of and activities relating to\r\nfirearms and knives. Administrators were asked to provide basic\r\ndemographic data about their schools and to rate the seriousness of\r\nviolence, drugs, guns, and other weapons in their institutions. They\r\nwere asked to provide weapon-related information about the average\r\nmale junior in their schools as well as to estimate the number of\r\nincidents involving types of weapons on school grounds during the past\r\nthree years. The administrators were also asked to identify, from an\r\nextensive list of violence reduction measures, those that were\r\npracticed at their schools. Variables are also provided about the type\r\nof school, grades taught, enrollment, and size of the community. In\r\naddition to the data collected directly from students and school\r\nadministrators, Census information concerning the cities and towns in\r\nwhich the sampled schools were located was also obtained. Census data\r\ninclude size of the city or town, racial and ethnic population\r\ndistributions, age, gender, and educational attainment distributions,\r\nmedian household and per capita income distributions, poverty rates,\r\nlabor force and unemployment rates, and violent and property crime\r\nrates.", "distribution": [{"@type": "dcat:Distribution", "accessURL": "https://doi.org/10.3886/ICPSR02580.v1", "title": "National Survey of Weapon-Related Experiences, Behaviors, and Concerns of High School Youth in the United States, 1996  "}], "identifier": "3424", "issued": "2000-02-01T00:00:00", "keyword": ["crime in schools", "crime prevention", "demographic characteristics", "firearms", "high school students", "high schools", "school violence", "violence", "weapons", "weapons offenses", "youths"], "language": ["eng"], "license": "http://www.usa.gov/publicdomain/label/1.0/", "modified": "2005-11-04T00:00:00", "programCode": ["011:060"], "publisher": {"@type": "org:Organization", "name": "National Institute of Justice", "subOrganizationOf": {"acronym": "OJP", "id": 22, "name": "Office of Justice Programs", "parentOrganization": {"acronym": "DOJ", "id": 10, "name": "Department of Justice"}, "parentOrganizationID": 10}}, "title": "National Survey of Weapon-Related Experiences, Behaviors, and Concerns of High School Youth in the United States, 1996  "}
