79 of the 632 victims studied are under 18 and the juvenile records have not been opened for the study. But of the 545 adult victims, 71% (387) had a known criminal record of 4334 arrests, including 801 felonies. 90.2% of that group ( 349 ) have recorded convictions.
* about 22% had a serious felony record in their history
* 53% had other felonies
* 82% had serious misdemeanors
* 90% had at least one misdemeanor charge
* 59% of the adults had at least one felony charge
* 48% had been incarcerated.
