Answer to Question 2

Of all the factors associated with crime, the age of the offender is one of the most significant. Arrest rates for violent crime and property crime are highest for people between the ages of 13 and 25, with the peak being between ages 16 and 17 . In 2011, individuals under age 18 accounted for nearly 13 percent of all arrests for violent crime and slightly over 20 percent of all arrests for property crime. Persons under age 18 were arrested for almost 29 percent of all vandalism and 24 percent of all disorderly conduct charges. The median age of those arrested for aggravated assault and homicide is somewhat older, generally in the late twenties. Typically, white-collar criminals are even older because it takes time to acquire both a high-ranking position and the skills needed to commit this particular type of crime.
