Note. Based on data from 21 States: Arkansas, California, Connecticut, Delaware, Florida, Hawaii, Illinois, Kentucky, Louisiana, Michigan, Nebraska, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Oklahoma, Rhode Island, Texas, Vermont, Washington, West Virginia, and Wyoming. Percentages are based upon a total count of 554,047 perpetrators from reports in which the perpetrator's age and sex were provided. Some duplication is reflected in this count because some perpetrators were involved in more than one report, and some perpetrators victimized more than one child.
a Mean = 34.5; Q1 = 28.0; Q2 = 34.0; Q3 = 40.0.
