Age and Sex of Perpetrators, 2006
This table lists age groups, in the first column, for the adult perpetrators. These age groups are less than 20, 20-29, 30-39, 40-49, and older than 49. The next two sections break the perpetrators down into men and women, respectively. Each of these sections first lists the number of perpetrators particular to the specified gender and age and then the percentage of perpetrators, within the given gender, that fall within the given age boundaries. The last two columns total the number of perpetrators for each age group and gives a percentage of those in each. The median age of male perpetrators is 34 while the median age of female perpetrators is 31. The median age of all perpetrators is 32 years old.
