What will be an ideal response?
There are differential risks involved with being a victim of murder, aggravated assault, and robbery. In regards to homicide, most victims know their offender. The offender is more often than not a family, friend or acquaintance. Most murders are situational, meaning they arise from a certain circumstance. The typical murder is carried out with a firearm. Most homicide victims are young, black males living in urban areas. This is quite different than robbery. Robbery victims experienced crime by a male stranger. Most robberies involve a weapon but do not harm their victim. The victims tend to be young, males, people of color, low income, and live in urban areas. Finally, victims of aggravated assault appear to mirror the characteristics of murder and robbery, with more youth, people of color, males, and urban dwellers impacted than any other variable of consideration.
