- Before 8 p.m., persons are more at risk of becoming an aggravated assault victim of a juvenile offender on school days than on nonschool days (i.e., weekends and all summer days).
- Sexual assaults by juvenile offenders spike at 8 a.m. and 3 p.m. on both school and nonschool days and at noon on nonschool days.
