School violence includes physical attacks, fights, and threats with or without weapons; robbery; sexual battery other than rape; and rapes that occur on school property both between students and directed at teachers. With more than two thirds of schools reporting violent incidents, time youth spend at school and the role of school in society make school violence significant in the study of interpersonal violence.
