Description
This Research Bulletin, with the headline Children's Risk of Homicide Victimization Rates for Chicago Children from Birth to Age 14, 1965 to 1995, examines the 1,124 homicides of children aged 14 and younger that occurred in Chicago from 1965 to 1995. Trends in population-based risk of homicide compare the risks for young children versus older teens and adults, boys versus girls, children of different racial/ethnic groups, and children in different developmental age groups. Patterns in these 31-year trends suggest practical implications for reducing homicide levels among young children.
