Teenagers are largely disproportionate as victims of crimes. According to the NCCD (The National Council on Crime and Delinquency) “. Seventeen year old boys are six times more likely to be homicide victims than 17 year old girls, mostly due to firearm related homicides… However, almost as many teenage girls reported being raped as teenage boys reported being robbed. Girls were seven times more likely to be raped than boys.” Young people often commit and are victims of violent assault and sexual assault. However teens can also be victims of other child centered crime like neglect, child abuse and mal treatment.
