This study focused on the people harmed by violent offenders, especially by rubberies. Trends capture changes in victimization rates overtime, while patterns indicate connections between the attributes of victims and the frequency with which they are targeted. Data from the UCR and the NCVS indicate that many types of victimization are taking place less frequently since their peak years in the late 1980s and early 1990s. Cumulative risks indicate the odds of being victimized over the course of a lifetime. Differential risks underscore which categories of people are victimized more often than others.
