    FOX News Radio’s Chris Foster reports:

    The youth homicide rate in 2010, less than half what it was in 1993, and as low as it’s been in at least 30 years. The report from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention on victims 10 to 24 years old.

    A lot more were killed back when there was more crime tied to crack cocaine. The declines, across the board: male, female, Black, White, Hispanic.

    About a third of homicide victims are in that young age group.
