    Abstract: The School Survey on Crime and Safety (SSOCS) is a 
nationally representative survey of elementary and secondary school 
principals that serve as the primary source of school-level data on 
crime and safety in public schools. SSOCS is the only recurring federal 
survey collecting detailed information on the incidence, frequency, 
seriousness, and nature of violence affecting students and school 
personnel from the school's perspective. Additionally, data are 
collected on frequency and types of disciplinary actions taken for 
select offenses; perceptions of other disciplinary problems, such as 
bullying, verbal abuse and disorder in the classroom; and, school 
policies and programs concerning crime and safety. The SSOCS is done on 
a biennial basis in the spring of even-numbered years.
