Abstract

Research Summary: This research shows that non‐Latino black, non‐Latino white, and Latino males and females in the U.S. experience significantly different levels of stranger and non‐stranger violence, and that these forms of non‐lethal violence are especially pronounced in areas with high levels of socioeconomic disadvantage. Many of the differences between these groups are eliminated once community and other individual characteristics are taken into account. Policy Implications: The results suggest that victimization resources should be geographically targeted at places with high levels of poverty and single‐parent families, and that the most stable institutions within these communities be drawn upon to deliver information about victimization prevention and services.
