Murders of Hispanics between the ages of 10 and 24 in California in 2010 were five times more frequent than those of their white peers, according to a study presented Tuesday by the Violence Policy Center.

The report, entitled “Lost Youth: A County-by-County Analysis of 2010 California Homicide Victims Ages 10 to 24,” found that 53 percent of the 680 homicide victims were Hispanic, 34 percent were African American and 7 percent were white.

Black youths are 22 times more likely to be murdered than white youths.
