Data from 1997-1999 are based on the SDC only.

This tables looks at the time period from 1997 through 2001 to analyze the breakdown of children's ages during these years. The top part of the chart, labeled Percent, lists each year in the first column and the following five columns each list one of the following age groups: 0-3, 4-7, 8-11, 12-15, and 16-17. In each column, the percentage of child victims who fell into that age group during the named year is listed. The last columns list, first, the total percent/number and then the number of reporting States. Below this portion of the chart is a similar one that, instead, lists the number of victims that fell into each age group during each named year. The years are again listed in the first column, and the rest of the columns are identical to the previously listed.
