This study examines victimization data collected during the Southern Ute Indian community Safety Survey, a study of crime and violence on the Southern Ute Indian reservation located in Ignacio, Colorado USA. It was found that poor, young, female, Indians, experienced higher rates of violent victimization. When compared to non-Indians, it was also found that simply being an Indian made Indians more likely to become a victim of violence than the non-Indians in this study.

Crime Victimization: A Comprehensive Overview provides students with a broad picture of the work done to draw attention to crime victims and the overall effects of victimization, including victim needs for recovery from crime. This text explores victimization at the street crime level, but also delves into less commonly discussed types of victimization including state and corporate crime, hate crime, cybercrime, environmental crime, and workplace violence.This text addresses the full spectrum of victimization from ''victimless'' crimes to repeat victimizations and provides students with an understanding of why victimization occurs, how victims deal with the aftereffects, what services are available to victims, and how professionals in the criminal justice, medical, religious, and therapeutic fields can both help and hinder victims journeys toward recovery. The evolution of the victims' rights movement, along with the development of national victim service organizations, important pieces of legislation, and international victimological associations are presented to provide students with an idea of the work that practitioners, activists, and researchers have done to both improve services to and enhance our understanding of crime victims overall. Crime Victimization provides a global understanding of victimization to highlight the impact of the crime phenomenon on the overall human condition. Additionally, students are introduced to burgeoning developments in the victim services field along with profiles of victimologists, victims' rights activities, and victim service providers to help them identify the impact they can have on the field of victimology and on individual crime victims in their chosen fields.

Their research, which encompasses the full continuum of sexual behavior among incarcerated individuals, succeeds in identifying multi-layered predictive models for different types of sexual behavior across and within genders.  The process by which the authors came to their study design, their experiences while implementing it, and the nature and significance of their findings, represent the content of this book.

This is an examination of the factors that contribute to the risk of being victimized, such as crime rates and environmental and personal variables."This is the first study of its kind to use national data to examine the risk and fear of crime across various types of victimizations--types of crime. This book examines relationships between official crime risk, perceived risk, and fear of crime among various demographic categories, within different environmental contexts. It specifies and measures two outcomes when actors perceive high victimization risks: fear and constrained behavior. Comparing the explained variance for these results with that for many studies which omit perceived risk shows this model to be an improvement over other investigations in this field of study." -- Julian Roebuck, Sul Ross State University"Ferraro is well acquainted with all of the current research in this area which makes it interesting to read because you know that he has considered the important existing arguments relative to this issue. The blend of symbolic interactionist theory with traditional survey methodology gives the reader much to consider, long after you finish. It starts you thinking about applying this to more areas than simply fear of crime." -- Marilyn D. McShane, California State University-San BernardinoFerraro examines how people interpret their risk of criminal victimization and identifies who is most likely to be afraid of crime. Although many previous studies of fear of crime do not explicitly consider the concept of risk or perceived risk in estimating the prevalence of fear, the approach taken here considers perceived risk as central to the entire interpretive process. It links national survey data on how people think about crime to official crime rates in America, and uses the comprehensive set of environmental and personal variables on a nationally representative sample to examine how fear develops for ten different types of crime.
