Criminal Victimization in the United States, 1991 23 breinew of children at risk in 4 areas: statistics, into Forum Fact in Four Categories for At Risk Children Education Five percent of 16 to 19 year olds are idle, this means not in school or the work force. This percentage compared to Whites is two and a half times higher for African Americans and two times higher for Hispanic youth between the ages of 16 to 19. People who drop out of high school make 1/3 less than those who graduate. Only 88 percent of appropriately aged US teens are enrolled in secondary education. Between 1985 and 1990, the on time graduation rate decreased in 37 states and the District of Columbia. Students from low income families are three times as likely to drop out of school as those from more affluent homes. Only 43% of hispanic teens graduate from high school on time, the rate is 61% for african american teens and 73 % for white teens. Health and Human Needs One forth of adolescents contract a sexually transmitted disease before they graduate from high school Seven percent of babies born in 1990 were low birth weight, weighing less than 5.5 pounds. This is the highest percentage since 1978. Black babies have twice the percentage of low birth weight - almost 13%. Half of all infants who die are low birth weight babies. The US infant mortality rate is 9.1 for every 1000 births. This is higher than Canada, France, Germany, the United Kingdom and twice that of Japan. The teen birth rate in the US is 54.8 for every 1,000 teens, that is about 1 in every 20 teenagers. This is 15 times the rate in Japan, five times that of Germany and France and twice that of Canada. In 1987, over 20% of children in the US were living in poverty. In Germany the figure was only 2.8%. By the end of the 1980's in the US, 44% of African American children and 38% of hispanic children were living in poverty. The overall increase in the child poverty rate for the 1980's is 17%. Although overall poverty rates have not changed in the US, the make up of who is poor has changed. In the past it was more likely for the elderly to be poor and today children are twice as likely to be poor as the elderly. Eight percent of all households are single parent households. One out of three female-headed families is headed by a teen mother. Almost 9% of births in 1990 were to women under the age of 20. This is a 16% increase from 1985. The individual statistics broken down by race are: 20% for African-American births and no increase from 1985, 10% for Hispanic births and 6% for White births with a 26% increase from 1985. Environment Destruction of the environment and pollution of air and water leads to the death of 45,000 children each day. [global figure] Public Safety The number of homicides increased 21 percent from 1980 to 1990 among children under 14. Between the ages of 15-24, 77.8 percent of all deaths are violent deaths. Between 1986 and 1991 the juvenile violent crime arrest rate for youth ages 10 to 17 increased by 48 percent. In 1991, 130,000 arrests were made in the US for rape, robbery, homicide or aggravated assault. In 1990, African American teens were twice as likely to be murdered that to die from an accident. The reverse is true for White teens.
