This report compares the FBI?s Uniform Crime Reporting (UCR) Program data on incidents of nonfatal violent crime to data from BJS?s National Crime Victimization Survey (NCVS) to determine if arrest differences by race and ethnicity can be attributed to differences in criminal involvement. It examines offenders? characteristics as reported by victims in the NCVS and provides information on racial and ethnic disparities beyond an arrestee and population-based comparison.
Race and Ethnicity of Violent Crime Offenders and Arrestees, 2018 (NCJ 255969) was written by BJS Statistician Allen J. Beck. The report, related documents, and additional information about BJS?s statistical publications and programs are available at www.bjs.gov.
The Bureau of Justice Statistics of the U.S. Department of Justice is the principal federal agency responsible for collecting, analyzing, and disseminating reliable statistics on crime and criminal justice in the United States. Jeffrey H. Anderson is the director.
