Early Violent Death Among Delinquent Youth: A Prospective Longitudinal Study

"The study found that 65 young people died during the follow-up period, all from causes other than illness. In 95.5 percent of the deaths, the cause was homicide or injuries resulting from a police officer’s apprehension efforts; 1.1 percent were suicides; 1.3 percent were from motor vehicle accidents; 0.5 percent were from other accidents; and 1.6 percent were from other external causes. Among homicides, 93 percent were from gunshot wounds." Source: Robert Wood Johnson Foundation
