Answer 1

Homicide: this category covers all cases where the death of the victim is caused intentionally. This is "non-negligent" killing.

There were 21,597 cases in 1995.

Arrests under the age of 21 accounted for 37% of the total arrests.

Arrests under the age of 18 accounted for 15% of the total arrests.

Rape: this category covers cases of completed or attempted acts of sexual intercourse accomplished by the use or threat of force.

There were 97,464 cases in 1995.

Arrests under the age of 21 accounted for 28% of the total arrests.

Arrests under the age of 18 accounted for 16% of the total arrests.

Aggravated assault: this is an attack on a person for the purpose of inflicting severe bodily injury. Since the definition does not require that the bodily harm actually be committed, aggravated assault can range from menacing gestures to attempted murder.

There were 1,099,179 cases in 1995.

Arrests under the age of 21 accounted for 26% of the total arrests.

Arrests under the age of 18 accounted for 15% of the total arrests.

Robbery: this is taking or attempting to take something from another person by threat of violence or force, or by putting the victim in fear.

There were 580,545 cases in 1995.

Arrests under the age of 21 accounted for 51% of the total arrests.

Arrests under the age of 18 accounted for 32% of the total arrests.

Assault: these are attacks that do not meet the criteria for aggravated assault, but are still considered criminal. Non-life-threatening attacks fall into this category.

Since 1965, the juvenile arrest rate has more than tripled, and over the last ten years the homicide rate has more than doubled among 14 to 17 year olds.

During the 1980s, the white juvenile crime rate grew twice as fast as the black juvenile crime rate, and from 1983 to 1992, the arrest rate for murder grew 166 percent among blacks, but also grew 94 percent among whites.

According to the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the teen murder rate in the U.S. grew by 22 percent in the period 1990-1994.
****************
There will be 1.8 million more males 14 to 24 years old, the most crime-prone group, in the year 2005 and 1.2 million more in 2010, according to the Census Bureau.

Juvenile arrests for violent crimes will more than double by the year 2010 if recent national trends continue,

The number of youths arrested for murder is expected to increase by 145 percent by the year 2010.
