Abstract: | The paper presents a conceptual framework and methodology developed by the authors to create systematic empirical basis to
monitor important social indicators. The focus here is on ways to employ indicators of victimization in school in order to
inform a range of constituencies interested in the well being of school children. The paper outlines the importance of developing
a wide range of indicators based on a theoretical model of social context of schools, as perceived from multiple perspectives
(students, staff, parents, the general public). The importance of linking national-, regional-, and site-level indicators
is emphasized and demonstrated. The paper presents examples of analyses and reports that can inform practice, policy making
and evaluation in the area of school safety. Finally, monitoring indicators of victimization on all levels is described as
a democratic youth empowering process. |
