I am looking for statistics related to crime and mental health trends in families?

I want statistics that show if crime tends to follow trends in certain population groups, or even families. For instance if a criminal fathers a child, how much more likely (if at all) is it that the child will also become a criminal. This can relate to any crime, but I am especially interested in sexual offenses, and violent crimes. Please help, I would appreciate it very much

I am looking for statistics related to crime and mental health trends in families?
According to the National Crime Victimization Survey (NCVS) in 2005, 477,040 victims of violent crimes stated that they faced an offender with a firearm.








Incidents involving a firearm represented 9% of the 4.7 million violent crimes of rape and sexual assault, robbery, and aggravated and simple assault in 2005.








The FBI's Crime in the United States estimated that 66% of the 16,137 murders in 2004 were committed with firearms.
