In the past 2 years, cities have reported skyrocketing rates of violence, crime, and abusive behavior including intrafamilial homicides. Of the 1838 homicide deaths last year among teenagers between the ages of 15 and 19, 71% involved the use of a firearm. Among black males in the same age group, 82% of the deaths were associated with guns. Since 1968, homicide has been among the leading causes of death for black teenagers. These and large volumes of other data clearly indicate that violence and abusive behavior is a compelling public health problem.
在过去两年里，各城市报告的暴力、犯罪和虐待行为发生率急剧上升，包括家庭内部凶杀案。在去年15至19岁青少年的1838起凶杀案死亡中，71%涉及使用枪支。在同一年龄组的黑人男性中，82%的死亡与枪支有关。自1968年以来，凶杀一直是黑人青少年的主要死因之一。这些数据以及大量其他数据清楚地表明，暴力和虐待行为是一个紧迫的公共卫生问题。
