The Forum Guide to Data Ethics
While laws set the legal parameters that govern data use, ethics
establish fundamental principles of "right and wrong" that are critical to the appropriate
management and use of education data in the technology age. This guide reflects the
experience and judgment of experienced data managers; while there is no mandate to
follow these principles, the authors hope that the contents will prove a useful reference
to others in their work.

Indicators of School Crime and Safety, 2009
A joint effort by the Bureau of Justice Statistics and National Center for Education Statistics, this annual report examines crime occurring in school as well as on the way to and from school. It provides the most current detailed statistical information to inform the Nation on the nature of crime in schools. This report presents data on crime at school from the perspectives of students, teachers, principals, and the general population from an array of sources--the National Crime Victimization Survey, the School Crime Supplement to the National Crime Victimization Survey, the Youth Risk Behavior Survey, the School Survey on Crime and Safety and the School and Staffing Survey. Data on crime away from school are also presented to place school crime in the context of crime in the larger society.
