Asian, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander Victims of Crime
نویسنده
چکیده
Asians, Native Hawaiians, and other Pacific Islanders were victims of approximately 105,000 nonfatal violent crimes (rape, sexual assault, aggravated assault, and simple assault) on average per year between 2002 and 2006. An average of about 471,000 property crimes (household burglary, motor vehicle theft, and theft) were committed against Asian, Native Hawaiian, and other Pacific Islander households per year during that period. While Asians, Native Hawaiians, and other Pacific Islanders accounted for 4% of the U.S. population, they were victims in 2% of nonfatal violent crimes and 3% of property crimes between 2002 and 2006. These findings are based on data from the Bureau of Justice Statistics’ National Crime Victimization Survey (NCVS) and the Federal Bureau of Investigation’s (FBI) Uniform Crime Reporting Program (UCR), Supplementary Homicide Reports.
