TY - JOUR PY - 1990// TI - Estimating the number of stranger-abduction homicides of children: A review of available evidence JO - Journal of criminal justice A1 - Hotaling, Gerald T. A1 - Finkelhor, Simon David SP - 385 EP - 399 VL - 18 IS - 5 N2 - This article attempts to derive estimates of the incidence of stranger-abduction homicide of children from six existing data sources. Also presented are the results of a separate analysis of abduction-related statistics on children contained in the Comprehensive Homicide File for the nine-year period 1976-1984. Methodological problems in existing data sources are identified, and results are discussed in relation to the issue of missing children.
