Abstract:

We compared the student, school-related crime and violence in all the traditional public versus public charter schools in the state of North Carolina during school year 2015-2016. Results showed that traditional public schools demonstrated higher crime and violence rates than did public charter schools. Risk ratios related to lower rates of crime and violence in school greatly favored students attending public charter schools. Implications concerning the school-related crime and violence characteristics of two different types of schools, on a large scale, are provided.
