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.

The current report is the third in a series of publications that highlight the disproportionate incarceration of African Americans for drug crimes in Illinois.
