To explore homicide trends for Wisconsin over the period 1985-1998 and assess the state's progress towards meeting its year 2000 health objectives.
Wisconsin and US homicide data from the Centers for Disease Control's Web-based Injury Statistics Query and Reporting System (WISQARS) were analyzed for the period 1985-1998.
Homicide rates in Wisconsin rose 54% between 1985 and 1995, but since that year, a sharp reverse in trends since has erased three-fourths of the increase. While Wisconsin rates for 1998 remain 15% above their 1985 levels, US rates peaked in 1991 and have since fallen to 12% below their 1985 levels. When compared to 1985, Wisconsin homicide rates for 1998 were 24% lower among whites, but 16% higher among blacks.
Wisconsin failed to achieve its year 2000 objective for homicide reductions, with rates remaining over 80% above the state goal. Though Wisconsin's current homicide rate is nearly half the US average, recent reductions in Wisconsin homicide have lagged behind those observed nationally.
探究1985 - 1998年期间威斯康星州的杀人犯罪趋势，并评估该州在实现2000年健康目标方面的进展。
分析了疾病控制中心基于网络的伤害统计查询与报告系统（WISQARS）中1985 - 1998年期间威斯康星州和美国的杀人犯罪数据。
1985年至1995年期间，威斯康星州的杀人犯罪率上升了54%，但自那一年起，趋势急剧逆转，消除了四分之三的增幅。虽然1998年威斯康星州的犯罪率仍比1985年的水平高出15%，但美国的犯罪率在1991年达到峰值，此后已降至比1985年的水平低12%。与1985年相比，1998年威斯康星州白人的杀人犯罪率降低了24%，但黑人的杀人犯罪率则高出了16%。
威斯康星州未能实现2000年减少杀人犯罪的目标，犯罪率仍比该州目标高出80%以上。尽管威斯康星州目前的杀人犯罪率几乎是美国平均水平的一半，但该州近期杀人犯罪率的下降落后于全国水平。
