(CNSNews.com) - Murders of school-age children---those between the ages of 5
and 18—declined by 42 percent between the 1992-93 school year and the 2008
-2009 school year, according to the U.S. Department of Justice, and only
about 1 percent of the school age children murdered during the 2008-2009
school year were murdered at school.
In February 2012, the Bureau of Justice Statistics published a report—“
Indicators of School Crime and Safety: 2011”—that included statistics on
homicides committed at schools for the school years from 1992-93 through
2009-2010. The report also included the total number of all school-age
children who were murdered at school or elsewhere from the 1992-93 school
year through the 2008-2009 school year.
The report showed a decline over an 18-year period in both the number of
school-age children murdered and the number murdered “at school.” The
Justice Department defines “at school” to “include the school building,
on school property, on a school bus, and going to and from school.”
During the 1992-93 school year, 2,719 school-age children were murdered in
the United States. Of these 2,719 murdered children, 34 were murdered at
school. That means 1.25 percent of the school-age children murdered during
the 1992-1993 school year were murdered at the school building, on school
property, on a school bus, or going to or from school.
By the 2008-2009 school year, the number of school-age children murdered in
the United States had dropped to 1,579—a decline of 42 percent from the 2,
719 school-age children murdered in the 1992-93 school year. Also in the
2008-2009 school year, the number of children murdered at school dropped to
17—a decline of 50 percent from the 34 children murdered at school in the
1992-93 school year.
In the 2008-2009 school year, only 1 percent of the school-age children
murdered were murdered at school.
In the 2009-2010 school year, the latest year for which the Justice
Department has published data, 17 school-age children were murdered at
school. That also was a 50 percent drop from the 34 children murdered at
school in the 1992-93 school year.
The 20 young children whom Adam Lanza murdered at Sandy Hook Elementary
School in Newtown, Conn., on Friday, exceeds the entire number of school-age
children murdered at school (17) in either the 2008-2009 or the 2009-2010
school years. In the 2007-2008 school year, 21 children were murdered at
school. | C*******r

禁枪后这些大屠杀可能少了， 可是平时的谋杀案件肯定飙升。
永远要记住： “人民是愚蠢的”。
这句话说起来难听， 不幸的是： 他是对的。 人民属于一冲动不顾后果的一群人。
There's a saying: "Never underestimate the stupidity of American people".
