Concept information

Preferred term

race/ethnicity and victimization  

Definition(s)

  • This entry describes the empirical relationship between governmental statistics on crime victimization and the federally defined categories of race and ethnicity. Extant research suggests that criminal victimization in the United States varies with regard to officially established racial and ethnic categories in much the same way as with other issues such as employment, housing, income, wealth, health and education, and criminal offending.
