Information released by the New York City Board of Education in December 1975 should cause considerable
anxiety. In “Fun City,” the number of acts of crime in the public schools during September-November 1975 was 55%
higher than for the corresponding period in 1974. The major criminal actions were assaults on teachers and robberies of
teachers, pupils, and others.
The blame for this situation has frequently been laid at the door of the current status and mood of society. Among
the contributory factors cited are the deplorable economy, racial tensions and clashes, the availability of weapons, and
