✦ Synopsis

The problem of crime in schools is one that receives a great deal of attention in the media and by the general public. Attempts to understand the problem often make reference to the impact of the neighborhood in which the school is found. Research rarely measures the surrounding environment and its impact on crime and victimization in the school. This article reports on an effort to uncover the influence of the surrounding environment on inschool victimization. Data from surveys of students, census and official crime data for the area, and a windshield survey of the neighborhood were used. The results suggest that the surrounding neighborhood has little impact on in-school victimization. Implications of this result on further research and school policy were examined.
