Answer to Question 1

Answer: Victimization is patterned geographically and socio-demographically, with most of the patterns similar to those for criminality. Victimization rates are lower for whites, women (except for rape and domestic violence), older people, and the non-poor than for their counterparts. Victimization rates for young African-American males are especially high. Males have a higher victimization rate than females, especially becoming homicide victims. Native Americans in fact have the highest victimization rate for violent crime.
