“…Assessing school strengths and weaknesses may be one strategy to identify gaps in victimization prevention. Positive school climate is associated with reduced victimization and promotes school connectedness [39]. Moreover, adult supervision, particularly in hallways, bathrooms, and the cafeteria, is crucial to preventing victimization.…”

Peer victimization at school is a pressing public health issue. Peer victimization has a deleterious impact on the victim and can lead to lifelong negative outcomes such as depression. The purpose of the present study is to examine peer victimization and potential individual, school, and peer correlates in a national sample of middle and high school students. A secondary data analysis of the School Crime and Safety survey was conducted to investigate study aims. Greater than one in 20 (7.2%) of students reported peer victimization at school. Multiple individual factors were found to increase the odds of victimization including grade level, grades received, and school avoidance among other variables. School and peer factors were also found to be significant. Study findings may be useful to school personnel for reducing peer victimization at school. Specific recommendations for school personnel are offered.

“…But there are also some more recent international studies. For example, Stracuzzi and Mills (2010) found that students who reported greater perceptions of teacher support were significantly less likely to engage in delinquent behaviours. Teacher support was measured using questions about the extent to which students felt that teachers were willing to help with personal problems and students felt close to and valued by their teachers.…”

As one of the primary agents of socialization during adolescence, schools have become an important place for crime prevention. Many programmes have been developed but many of them lack a theoretical basis. Therefore criminological learning theories are examined for possible starting points for successful school-based crime prevention. Theses derived from these theories concerning the direct and indirect impact of student-teacher relationships on students' attitudes and later self-reported delinquency are analysed with the first four waves (ages 13 to 16) from the German prospective panel study Crime in the Modern City. The findings suggest that the quality of the student-teacher relationship is a causal link in the generation of adolescent delinquent behaviour and hence a promising starting point for crime prevention measures.

“…Students who feel more connected to their schools are more likely to do well in school; report higher self-esteem, fewer depressive feelings, and fewer aggressive behaviors; and are less likely to use substances. 19 • Among twelfth graders, self-esteem is higher among those students who positively identify with their community. 18…”
