Dramatic Drop: Government figures show the rate of sexual assaults against adolescents ages 12-17 plunged 79% between ‘93 and ‘03, and the number of substantiated sex-abuse cases involving kids of all ages fell 39%. Crimes Against Children Research Center credits multiple reasons for the decline: Greater incarceration of offenders, more therapy and psychiatric drug use, economic improvement in the ‘90s, and heightened public concern.
