Violent Victimization Committed by Strangers, 1993-2010.

摘要

In 2010, about 1.8 million nonfatal violent victimizations were committed by strangers, which was a 77% decline from 7.9 million victimizations in 1993. Violent victimizations committed by strangers accounted for about 38% of all nonfatal violence in 2010. Simple assault made up the majority (60%) of victimizations committed by strangers during the year, followed by aggravated assault (20%), robbery (17%), and rape or sexual assault (2%). From 1993 to 2008, among homicides reported to the FBI for which the victim-offender relationship was known, between 21% and 27% of homicides were committed by strangers and between 73% and 79% were committed by offenders known to the victims.
