Abstract
Asian Americans remain understudied in criminological research yet they are as likely as non-Asians to be victims of robbery. Drawing upon the National Crime Victimization Survey (NCVS) 1992–2005 data, this study compares and contrasts the risk factors of robbery victimization among Asian, White, and Black Americans. Compared to Whites and Blacks, there is a more visible link between education and robbery risks for Asians. Employment is not significantly related to robbery victimization for Whites or Blacks, but is associated with higher risks for Asians. For Whites and Blacks, urban residence is related to significantly higher likelihoods of robbery victimization yet for Asian Americans, urban placement of robbery experience is not identified. Implications for future research and policy are discussed.
