This SVG file was originally produced in Inkscape or a similar vector graphics editor but later modified in a text editor to clean up XML source code, add sophisticated features which cannot be used in Inkscape, or reduce the file size. Editors are strongly discouraged from overwriting this SVG file with one saved in Inkscape, even the "Plain SVG" format. Workarounds should be employed to maintain code neatness so other editors can access this file in a text editor with ease.
This file is translated using SVG <switch> elements. All translations are stored in the same file! Learn more.

For most Wikipedia projects, you can embed the file normally (without a lang parameter). The Wikipedia will use its language if the SVG file supports that language. For example, the German Wikipedia will use German if the SVG file has German. To embed this file in a particular language use the lang parameter with the appropriate language code, e.g. [[File:United States family homicides by relationship 1980 2008.svg|lang=en]] for the English version. Do not specify a lang parameter if it is not needed. The parameter may prevent the use of a subsequent translation.

To translate the text into your language, you can use the SVG Translate tool. Alternatively, you can download the file to your computer, add your translations using whatever software you're familiar with, and re-upload it with the same name. You will find help in Graphics Lab if you're not sure how to do this.

Summary

Description
English: A line chart presenting data about and depicting trends in intra-family homicides, separated by relationship, from the year 1980 to 2008, in the United States.

Based on data from: Alexia D. Cooper, Erica L. Smith, Bureau of Justice Statistics (2011-11-16). Homicide Trends in the United States, 1980-2008. NCJ 236018. Pages 21-22. Archived at https://web.archive.org/web/20180330165915/https://www.bjs.gov/index.cfm?ty=pbdetail&iid=2221 Data in this chart appears in the file htus8008f30.csv included in the "Spreadsheets" link from that web page.

Family homicides most often involved spouses or ex-spouses

  • Homicides by a spouse or ex-spouse were an increasingly smaller proportion of all family homicides from 1980 through 2008. In 1980, they made up half (52%) of all family homicides. By 2008, they accounted for just over a third (37%) (figure 30).
  • Children killed by their parents were the second most frequent type of family homicide. These homicides increased from 15% of all family homicides in 1980 to 25% of all family homicides in 2008.
  • Parents killed by one of their children have been an increasing proportion of family homicides, rising steadily from 9.7% of all family homicides in 1980 to 13% in 2008.

The proportion of family homicides that involved a spouse has decreased for both blacks and whites

  • Murders of children by a parent accounted for an increasing percentage of family homicides, regardless of race.
  • In 1980, 16.1% of white family homicides and 13.4% of black family homicides involved a parent who murdered a child.
  • By 2008, 23.5% of white family homicides and 30% of black family homicides involved a child killed by a parent (figures 31a and 31b).

Fathers were more likely than mothers to be killed by their children

  • Teenage sons (16 to 19 years-old) were most often the perpetrators in parental killings (figures 32a and 32b).

Brothers were more likely than sisters to be killed by a sibling

  • About half of brothers who killed their own brother were between 16 and 30 years-old (figure 33a). Relatively few sisters killed their own brother.
  • Sisters killed by a sibling were more likely to be murdered by a brother than a sister (figure 33b). A quarter of all murders of sisters by a sibling were committed by a teenage sibling between 13 and 18 years-old.
