Are the violence-related offenses used to define a "persistently dangerous schools" the same ones used to determine whether a student is the victim of a crime of violence?
Not entirely. The list of violent offenses for the individual student option include only crimes of violence directed personally at one student or a small group of students. These crimes are as follows:
- A forcible felony.
- Physical assaults, with the exception of simple assault (no injury).
- Sexual assaults.
- Extortion.
