At the macro level of analysis, this\r\nresearch examined the influences of sociocultural, crime, and school\r\ncharacteristics on aggregate-level school violence and academic\r\nperformance measures. Here the focus was on understanding community,\r\nfamily, and crime compositional effects on disruption and violence in\r\nPhiladelphia schools. This level included Census data and crime rates\r\nfor the Census tracts where the schools were located (local data), as\r\nwell as for the community of residence of the students (imported data)\r\nfor all 255 schools within the Philadelphia School District. The\r\nsecond level of analysis, the intermediate level, included all of the\r\nvariables measured at the macro level, and added school organizational\r\nstructure and school climate, measured with survey data, as mediating\r\nvariables. Part 1, Macro-Level Data, contains arrest and offense data\r\nand Census characteristics, such as race, poverty level, and household\r\nincome, for the Census tracts where each of the 255 Philadelphia\r\nschools is located and for the Census tracts where the students who\r\nattend those schools reside. In addition, this file contains school\r\ncharacteristics, such as number and race of students and teachers,\r\nstudent attendance, average exam scores, and number of suspensions for\r\nvarious reasons. For Part 2, Principal Interview Data, principals from\r\nall 42 middle schools in Philadelphia were interviewed on the number\r\nof buildings and classrooms in their school, square footage and\r\nspecial features of the school, and security measures. For Part 3,\r\nteachers were administered the Effective School Battery survey and\r\nasked about their job satisfaction, training opportunities,\r\nrelationships with principals and parents, participation in school\r\nactivities, safety measures, and fear of crime at school. In Part 4,\r\nstudents were administered the Effective School Battery survey and\r\nasked about their attachment to school, extracurricular activities,\r\nattitudes toward teachers and school, academic achievement, and fear\r\nof crime at school. Part 5, Student Victimization Data, asked the same\r\nstudents from Part 4 about their victimization experiences, the\r\navailability of drugs, and discipline measures at school. It also\r\nprovides self-reports of theft, assault, drug use, gang membership,\r\nand weapon possession at school.", "distribution": [{"@type": "dcat:Distribution", "accessURL": "https://doi.org/10.3886/ICPSR02026.v1", "title": "School Culture, Climate, and Violence: Safety in Middle Schools of the Philadelphia Public School System, 1990-1994"}], "identifier": "2781", "issued": "1998-11-16T00:00:00", "keyword": ["academic achievement", "communities", "crime in schools", "crime rates", "cultural influences", "families", "fear of crime", "middle schools", "school principals", "school security", "school violence", "schools"], "language": ["eng"], "license": "http://www.usa.gov/publicdomain/label/1.0/", "modified": "2006-03-30T00:00:00", "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}}, "rights": "These data are restricted due to the increased risk of violation of confidentiality of respondent and subject data.", "title": "School Culture, Climate, and Violence: Safety in Middle Schools of the Philadelphia Public School System, 1990-1994"}
