Changes in Bullying Victimization and Hate-Related Words at School since 2007. Data Point. NCES 2018-095

Data from the School Crime Supplement (SCS) to the National Crime Victimization Survey, a nationally representative sample survey of students ages 12 through 18, were used to examine changes in reports of bullying and being called hate-related words at school. The SCS study is completed every other year. Data from five consecutive surveys are included in this report: school years 2006-2007, 2008-2009, 2010-2011, 2012-2013, and 2014-2015. The SCS asks students whether they were bullied or called hate-related words in the school building, on school property, on the school bus, or going to or from school. Specifically, students were asked to report if they were made fun of, called names, or insulted; were the subject of rumors; were threatened with harm; were pushed, shoved, tripped, or spit on; were pressured into doing things they did not want to do; were excluded from activities on purpose; or had property destroyed on purpose. Students are separately asked whether anyone called them an insulting or bad name at school having to do with their race, religion, ethnic background or national origin, disability, gender, or sexual orientation (hate-related words). Analysis is restricted to the SCS respondents in each year who were enrolled in grades 6 through 12, and did not receive any part of their education through homeschooling during the school year.
