From 1980 through 1989, more than 11,000 persons died in the United States as a result of homicides committed by high school-aged youth using firearms, cutting instruments, or blunt objects (Federal Bureau of Investigation, Uniform Crime Reports, Supplementary Homicide Report Files, unpublished data, 1980-1989). Firearm-related homicides accounted for more than 65% of these fatalities. Immediate access to a potentially lethal weapon, especially a firearm, may increase the likelihood that a lethal event would result from a violent altercation. This article presents the prevalence and incidence of self-reported weapon-carrying among high school students in grades 9-12 in the United States during 1990.
从1980年到1989年,在美国有超过11000人死于高中年龄段青少年使用枪支、刀具或钝器实施的杀人行为(联邦调查局,《统一犯罪报告》,《补充杀人报告档案》,未发表数据,1980 - 1989年)。与枪支相关的杀人案占这些死亡人数的65%以上。能够立即获取潜在致命武器,尤其是枪支,可能会增加暴力冲突导致致命事件的可能性。本文介绍了1990年美国9至12年级高中生自我报告携带武器的流行率和发生率。
