In 2005, the 17 through 24 age group remains significantly over-represented in violent crime statistics, particularly homicides involving firearms.[96] In 2005, 17- through 19-year-olds were 4.3% of the overall population of the U.S.[97] This same age group accounted for 11.2% of those killed in firearm homicides.[98] This age group also accounted for 10.6% of all homicide offenses.[99] The 20- through 24-year-old age group accounted for 7.1% of the population,[97] while accounting for 22.5% of those killed in firearm homicides.[98] The 20 through 24 age group also accounted for 17.7% of all homicide offenses.[99] Those under age 17 are not overrepresented in homicide statistics. In 2005, 13- through 16-year-olds accounted for 6% of the overall population of the U.S., but only accounted for 3.6% of firearm homicide victims,[98] and 2.7% of overall homicide offenses.[99]
