Answer to Question 2

 The National Crime Victimization Survey (NCVS) samples estimate the total number of criminal incidents, including those not reported to police.
 Males are more often the victims of delinquency than females.
 Younger people are more often targets than older people.
 African American rates of violent victimization are much higher than European American rates. Crime victimization tends to be intraracial.
 Self-report data show that a significant number of adolescents become crime victims. The NCVS may underreport juvenile victimization.

This condition is progressive and worsens with time. More than 100 million people in the United States are nearsighted, but only 20% of those are born with the condition. Diet, eye exercise, drug therapy, and corrective lenses can all help manage nearsightedness.

Heroin has a slight affinity for opiate receptors. Most of its actions are due to metabolism to active metabolites (6-acetylmorphine, morphine, and morphine-6-glucuronide).
