N2  - This study investigates the circannual pattern of U.S. child homicide rates. Analyses of23,067 child homicide records extracted from 1976 to 1998 FBI Supplemental HomicideReports reveal a winter peak for infants and toddlers (age less than 2 years) and a summerpeak for primary and middle school children (ages 5 to 14). Logistic regressions find distinctrisk factors for the two peaks that support the prevailing developmental risk theory.The risk factors suggest guidelines for a more rational allocation of prevention resourcesboth across the year and among different developmental subpopulations.<p />
