According to Statistics Canada, 57 youths aged 12 to 17 years were accused of homicide in 2003. That's 15 more than in 2002, and eight more than the 10-year average. The youth homicide rate had generally been declining between 1995 and 2001.
There was little explanation of this worrisome reversal, which stood out among the other major categories looked at by Canada's statistics office. "
