Percentage of students ages 12–18 who reported being targets of hate-related words at school during the school year, by type of hate-related word: 2007 |
|
1 In the School Crime Supplement (SCS) questionnaire, students were asked if they had been the target of hate-related words at school. Students
who indicated that they had been called a hate-related word were asked to choose the specific characteristics that the hate-related word targeted.
Students were allowed to choose more than one characteristic. If a student chose more than one characteristic, he or she is counted once under
the "total" category. Therefore, the total percentage of students who reported being called a hate-related word is less than the sum of the students’
individual characteristics. NOTE: "At school" includes the school building, on school property, on a school bus, and going to and from school. Hate-related refers to derogatory terms used by others in reference to students’ personal characteristics.
