abstract="This research examines how victim and offender characteristics, as well as contextual factors are related to the lethality of assaults for children less than 5 years old. The National Incident-Based Reporting System (NIBRS) data for 2006 to 2011 were analyzed using logistic regression techniques to estimate two models designed to explore factors associated with the death of preschoolers. <br><br>RESULTS indicate that the probability of fatality is significantly influenced by victim and offender characteristics, victim-offender relationship, weapon used, time of incident, and region of the United States in which the incident occurred.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
