\"SDT-2013-05-gun-crime-4-1\"As with firearm crimes, the rate of overall non-fatal violent crime\u2014defined as aggravated or simple assault, robbery or sex crimes (with or without a gun)\u2014also is lower than it was in the early 1990s. From 1993 to 2011, the U.S. non-fatal violent crime victimization rate for Americans ages 12 and older declined 72%.<\/p>\n

There were 2,254 non-fatal violent crime victimizations per 100,000 Americans ages 12 and older in 2011, compared with 7,976 in 1993. The number of such victimizations in 2011\u20145.8 million\u2014also was a decline from 16.8 million victimizations in 1993.<\/p>\n

The non-fatal violent crime victimization rate declined 53% from 1993 to 2000 and decreased an additional 49% from 2000 to 2010. In 2011, the rate grew by 17%.<\/p>\n

Looking at the main components of non-fatal violent crime, in 2011, 31% of aggravated assault victimizations involved a gun, the same share as in 1993. In 2011, 26% of robbery victimizations involved a gun, similar to the 22% share in 1993.<\/p>\n

By gender, males accounted for 55% of non-fatal violent crime victimizations in 2011, somewhat higher than their 49% proportion of the population ages 12 and older.<\/p>\n

Age Groups<\/h3>\n

\"SDT-2013-05-gun-crime-4-2\"In terms of age, young adults have the highest victimization rates. The highest rate is among those ages 18 to 24, followed by those ages 12 to 17.<\/p>\n

Those ages 12 to 24 are a higher share of victims (41% in 2011) than of the population ages 12 and older (21%). Adults ages 41 and older are a lower share of victims (29%) than their share of the population ages 12 and older (53%). Those ages 25 to 40 are a slightly larger share of victims (30%) than of the population ages 12 and older (26%).<\/p>\n

Teens ages 12 to 17, for example, are 9% of the population ages 12 and older but were 16% of the victims of non-fatal violent crime in 2011. Adults ages 65 and older are 15% of the population ages 12 and older but were 3% of the victims of non-fatal violent crime in 2011.<\/p>\n

Racial and Ethnic Groups<\/h3>\n

\"SDT-2013-05-gun-crime-4-3\"There were no statistically significant differences by racial and ethnic group in 2011 rates of non-fatal violent crime.<\/p>\n

Non-fatal violent crime rates declined at a similar pace from 1993 to 2010 among those ages 12 and older in the nation\u2019s three largest racial and ethnic groups\u201477% for whites, 79% for Hispanics and 71% for blacks.<\/p>\n

From 2010 to 2011, the non-fatal violent crime rate for Hispanics went up 42%; the rate for whites rose 18%; and the rate for blacks was essentially stable (up 2%).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
