"Kidnappings, robberies and rapes are a reality in Palm Beach County's (FL) public schools. But exactly how much crime takes place is a mystery because principals and school police have very different ways of reporting it." (SUN-SENTINEL) This article analyzes the reasons behind the discrepancies in reporting that leave "parents, the public and state officials with a murky, incomplete picture of how much crime--and what kind--takes place in Palm Beach County's 156 public schools."
