Abstract

During the past quarter century violence consistently has been a major problem in the United States. During this period, the profile of violence has changed. Adolescent and young adults are assuming a substantially greater role in serious and fatal violent events. The increased use of firearms, particularly by male youth and young adults, has rendered their acts of violence more lethal.
