%X We examine homicide data from fifty of the largest U.S. cities for the years 1976-1977 and, in particular, compare them to similar data for 1971-1972. The results reinforce earlier predictions that one in seventy urban residents born this decade will ultimately be murdered. However, the dispersion of murder risk as a function of race, sex, and city has apparently dropped considerably in the last few years.<p />
