a data snip from:
Juvenile Offenders and Victims: 1997 Update on Violence
In 1995 the FBI collected a detailed
Supplementary Homicide Report
(SHR) on 93% of all murder victims
in the U.S. The map above presents
an analysis of these data. Consequently,
as many as 200 of the 2,600
murdered juveniles may not be represented
on the map.
Based on reported SHR data, no juveniles
were murdered in 84% of the
more than 3,000 U.S. counties in 1995.
In 9% of U.S. counties, one juvenile
was murdered. More than one-third
of all murdered juveniles were killed
in 10 counties. The major cities in
these 10 counties (beginning with the
city in the county with the most murdered
juveniles) are Los Angeles, Chicago,
New York, Detroit, Dallas,
Houston, Phoenix, San Bernardino,
Philadelphia, and St. Louis.
States with the highest juvenile murder
rates were Illinois, Maryland,
Louisiana, California, and Oklahoma.
Oklahoma’s high rate is the result of
the bombing of the Federal Building
in April 1995.
