Monitoring The Future
Indicators of School Crime and Safety 2001
The Ohio Student Survey 2002 is the fourth PRIDE Survey of drug use patterns among 4th, 6th, and 8th grade students throughout the state and the first statewide survey of 10th and 12th graders.* This executive summary provides highlights describing alcohol, tobacco and other drug use and violence by Ohio’s elementary, middle, and high school students.
Monitoring The Future is an ongoing study of the behaviors, attitudes, and values of American secondary school students, college students, and young adults. Each year, a total of some 50,000 8th, 10th and 12th grade students are surveyed (12th graders since 1975, and 8th and 10th graders since 1991.)

Indicators of School Crime and Safety 2001
National indicators affirm that the levels of crime in school have continued to decline, that acts that promote fear and detract from learning are decreasing, and that students feel more safe in school than they did a few years ago. De-spite declining rates, students ages 12 through 18 were victims of about 2.5 million crimes of violence or theft at school in 1999. Violence, theft, bullying, drugs, and firearms still remain problems in many schools throughout the country and periodically the news headlines relate the details of a tragic event in a school somewhere in America.
