Overview of This Information Collection
1. Type of Information Collection: Revision of a currently approved
collection.
2. The Title of the Form/Collection: 2022 School Crime Supplement
(SCS) to the National Crime Victimization Survey (NCVS).
3. The agency form number, if any, and the applicable component of
the Department sponsoring the collection: The form number for the
questionnaire is SCS-1. The applicable component within the Department
of Justice is the Bureau of Justice Statistics, in the Office of
Justice Programs.
4. Affected public who will be asked or required to respond, as
well as a brief abstract: The survey will be administered to persons
ages 12 to 18 in NCVS sample households in the United States from
January through June 2022. The SCS collects, analyzes, publishes, and
disseminates statistics on the students' victimization, perceptions of
school environment, and safety at school.
5. An estimate of the total number of respondents and the amount of
time estimated for an average respondent to respond: An estimate of the

7,010 SCS respondents, 87% or 6,071 are expected to complete the long
SCS interview (entire SCS questionnaire) which takes an estimated 17
minutes (0.28 hours) to complete. The remaining 13% or 939 SCS
respondents are expected to complete the short interview (i.e. will be
screened out for not being in school), which takes an estimated 2
minutes (0.03 hours) to complete. There are an estimated 1,728 annual
burden hours associated with this collection. Respondents will be asked
to respond to this survey only once during the six month period. The
burden estimates are based on data from the prior administration of the
SCS.
