Abstract
Research has long documented the existence of disparities in the rates of criminal victimization by gender, race, and ethnicity. Despite year‐to‐year fluctuations, unique distributions by type of crime, and a historical trend of decline in victimization in the United States since the early 1990s, the general pattern is one where males are more likely than females to experience victimization, with some exceptions for specific crimes. Also, Blacks are the most likely to experience victimization, followed by Hispanics and Whites. These patterns are demonstrated in a variety of data sources, including victim surveys, official crime statistics, and mortality statistics.
