There are approximately 80-100 homicides of
children aged between 0 and 16 years each year in the UK.
The homicides of boys outnumber that of girls in
all age groups. Male infants also outnumber female infants among children
placed on child protection registers for physical abuse.
Boys are more likely to be killed by their parents than
girls.
