Summary
[edit]DescriptionUnited States homicide victimization rates by race 1980 2008.svg |
English: A line chart presenting data about and depicting trends in the number of homicide victims, separated by race, from the year 1980 to 2008, in the United States. For the most relevant definitions of the terms "white" and "black", refer to race and ethnicity as used in the United States Census. These statistics may be affected by racial disparities in the United States criminal justice system.

The accompanying text reads: Trends by race Blacks were disproportionately represented among homicide victims and offenders ▪ In 2008, the homicide victimization rate for blacks (19.6 homicides per 100,000) was 6 times higher than the rate for whites (3.3 homicides per 100,000). The victimization rate for blacks peaked in the early 1990s, reaching a high of 39.4 homicides per 100,000 in 1991 (figure 17). ▪ After 1991, the victimization rate for blacks fell until 1999, when it stabilized near 20 homicides per 100,000. ▪ In 2008, the victimization rate for blacks (24.7 off enders per 100,000) was 7 times higher than the rate for whites (3.4 off enders per 100,000) (figure 18). ▪ The victimization rate for blacks showed a similar pattern to the victimization rate, peaking in the early 1990s at a high of 51.1 offenders per 100,000 in 1991. ▪ After 1991, the victimization rate for blacks declined until it reached 24 per 100,000 in 2004. The rate has since fluctuated, increasing to 28.4 offenders per 100,000 in 2006 before falling again to 24.7 offenders per 100,000 in 2008. (This image corresponds to "figure 17".
