Dear MEL Topic Readers,
Homicide is a leading cause of death in kids, and rates are rising, study finds
In two recent decades, over 38,000 children were murdered in the US. In fact, homicide has killed more children than any other cause like diseases or accidents, and the number has been increasing. Black and Hispanic children who live in poor neighborhoods seem to have been killed more than those in other racial groups or neighborhoods. Regionally, the child homicide rate in the South has been increasing more than in other regions. It was also found that younger children are often killed by neglect or abuse by caretakers while teenagers were killed more often by their friend or acquaintance, in arguments, or during a crime. After all, America seems to have deep-rooted social problems, especially in certain racial groups, neighborhoods, and financial conditions. Furthermore, there are guns all over the place that could be used to cause fatal wounds so easily. Is America a socially well-developed nation?
