changes in rates of violent deaths 1974-2008

[Guest guest]

A useful analysis: I think this paper has just been published after being 'online' for almost a year, so others may have already seen it, but it flags up some good news about the falling rates of violent deaths to infants and children in the middle years, although those in adolescence are rising.http://adc.bmj.com/content/97/3/193.abstract?etocThis is a review of ONS data and related Home Office homicide figures. It adds to the evidence published a couple of years ago, which was based on a review of WHO data, confirming the improvements. I have just been watching the deeply depressing 'protecting our children' series about Bristol social workers on television, and it is encouraging to think there is some good news around in this field!best wishes Cowleysarahcowley183@...http://myprofile.cos.com/S124021COn
