! Interpret data with caution. The standard error for this estimate is from 30 percent to 50 percent of the estimate's value. ‡ Reporting standards not met. The standard error for this estimate is equal to 50 percent or more of the estimate's value. 1 Respondents who identified themselves as being of Hispanic or Latino origin were classified as "Hispanic or Latino," regardless of their race. "Black, not Hispanic or Latino" includes African Americans. "All other races, not Hispanic or Latino" includes American Indians or Alaska Natives, Asians, Native Hawaiians or Other Pacific Islanders, and respondents of two or more races (1 percent of all respondents). NOTE: "Theft" includes attempted and completed purse snatching, completed pickpocketing, and all attempted and completed thefts, excluding motor vehicle theft. Theft does not include robbery, in which the threat or use of force is involved. "Violent" includes rape, sexual assault, robbery, aggravated assault, and simple assault. "Any" includes violent crimes and theft. "At school" includes inside the school building, on school property, on the school bus, and on the way to or from school. Student reports of "theft" and "violent" victimization may not sum to "any" victimization because respondents can report more than one type of victimization. Detail does not sum to total number of students because of rounding, missing data ("household income"), or because response category "don't know" is not shown ("student-reported school sector"). Population size for students ages 12 through 18 is 25,383,000.
