RACE, ETHNICITY, VICTIMIZATION,
AND OFFENDING
Perception versus reality
Different sources of data
Intraracial versus interracial
Implications of racial disparities
OVERVIEW
• The media and perceptions of crime
• The “typical” victim and “typical” offender
• What do the data say?
• Victimization surveys
• The National Crime Victimization Survey (NCVS)
• Offending data
• The Uniform Crime Reports (UCR)
• Self-report data
• Intra versus interracial crime
PERCEPTIONS OF CRIME
• Many factors shape how we think about crime and justice
• One factor is media portrayals of crime and offenders
• Media exerts a potentially powerful influence on public perceptions
• Unfortunately, the image the media creates is often wildly distorted
• Portray violent crime more than property crime
• Suggest ever-rising crime rates
• Some types of crimes, offenders, and/or victims capture more attention
• Racial hoaxes
• When someone fabricates a crime or falsely blames someone based on race/ethnicity
• Most racial hoaxes involve whites blaming African Americans
PERCEPTIONS V. EMPIRICAL REALITIES
Media Portrayals
• Typically focused on violent crime
• Often portray crime as an interracial
event with a white victim
• Often emphasize “gang” involvement
Empirical Data
• More than 80% of crimes reported to
the police are property crimes
• A disproportionate number of crime
victims are persons of color
• Crime is predominately intraracial
• Not all group activity is gang activity
DATA LIMITATIONS
• Unfortunately, available data suffer from several limitations
• Limited data on certain groups/types of crime
• Most data compares Whites and Blacks
• Hispanic/Latinx data slowly increasing
• Racial/ethnic categories may vary across jurisdictions
• White versus nonwhite dichotomy
• Lumps all “non-whites” together
• Assumes homogeneity within groups
• Data suited for description, not establishing causality
• Can tell us differences exist, but not why they exist in many cases

ETHNICITY, AND
VICTIMIZATION
EXAMINING
DISPARITIES
NATIONAL CRIME VICTIMIZATION SURVEY (NCVS)
• Most systematic source of victimization information in the U.S.
• Household survey designed to be representative of the entire nation
• Persons aged 12 and older are surveyed
• Survey conducted every 6 months; households surveyed for 3 years
• Information collected
• Victim info; victim perceptions of offender characteristics; context of the event
• Data restricted to selected major crimes
• Race and ethnicity self-reported at household and individual level
• White, African American, and “other”
• Hispanic and non-Hispanic
• Captures crime/victimization data not necessarily reported to the police
THE NATURE AND EXTENT OF VICTIMIZATION
• Victimization is widespread
• NCVS estimates roughly 20 million victimizations a year (about 18.6 in 2019)
• 2019 violent victimization rate = 21.0 per 1,000 (7.3 per 1,000 excluding sim ...

SEX OFFENDER VERSION
7
Most sexual offenses are committed by strangers.
Most sexual offenses are committed by someone known to the victim or victim’s family, regardless if the victim is a child or an adult.
Approximately 60% of boys and 80% of girls who are sexually victimized are abused by someone known to the child or the child’s family.
From 2005 to 2010, 78% of sexual violence involved an offender who was a family member, intimate partner, friend, or acquaintance.
Debunking the Myths
Bullet 2 – (60% boys / 80% girls) is from Lieb, Quinsey, and Berliner, 1998.
In a 2009 study conducted by the US Dept. of Justice, Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention, 13,471 juvenile sex offender cases were evaluated which revealed that in 88.2% of reported incidents, the victim was either a family member or acquaintance.
Only 2.5% involved a victim who was considered a stranger to the offender.

This figure taken from the Rape, Abuse & Incest National Network (RAINN) website, acces.
Very few of us know that 73% of the rape victims know the rapists. Moreover, 40% of rapes happen at victim’s home and 20% occur in the homes of familiar people.
It turned out that most of us have no idea about the effective precautions needed to protect ourselves from the traumatic experience, because we expect danger from a wrong source. A widespread belief is that one should expect a rapist to sit in the bushes in the park late at night, while the reality is different.
My colleague Paulina Grzelak and I were astonished while exploring this topic, as we were quite oblivious to the real situation as well. Therefore, we decided to make a small questionnaire and ask people what they think about rape.
This presentation begins with the analysis of what makes a person become a rapist, which is followed by the comparison of the results of the questionnaire with real data.
I would be grateful if you shared this presentation as many people need this knowledge.
I also want to add that most figures we present come from the States where definition of rape and social situation may differ from ours. Hence, comparing data from the U.S. with opinions from Poland and Ukraine may seem improper. For instance, being forced into sexual contact by husband may not even be recognized as rape in Ukraine, “because it’s his natural right”. And even if a wife admits this fact, social welfare system (which does not exist here, let’s face it) leaves her no option apart from remaining silent, while in the U.S. rape victims are less dependent on family members. Therefore, one has to approach the statistics carefully. Still, we believe that using American data can be justified by the fact that they explore the subject more than any other country.
Gaps in Data Collection on Femicide in Italy serena boccardo
Data on 'Femicide' - the homicide of women by men for sentimental reasons - in Italy shows that it occurs as the final outcome of a series of violence and right violations. Nevertheless, data collection itself contains gaps and drawbacks which makes the preventive identification of the phenomenon difficult, no matter the recent ratification of major international conventions on gender rights.
This slideshow considers the privacy and ethical implication when dealing with criminal justice data. The dataset provided by the Bureau of Justice Statistics includes survey data from victims as well as compiles criminal stats. Issues with privacy are highlighted in this slideshare.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202
2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.
The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

1. The killing of women in the context of
global homicides
Convegno scientifico - La violenza sulle donne:
i dati e gli strumenti per la conoscenza statistica
Angela Me
Chief Research and Trend Analysis Branch
Roma, 28 marzo 2017
2. Homicide
• Homicide is the ‘ultimate crime’ with grave
consequences for individuals and society
• Homicide statistics provide a proxy indicator
for other types of violent crime
• The quality and availability of homicide data
are far superior to data on most other types of
crime
• The level of comparability of homicide data
between countries is greater than for most
other types of crime
3. Who is at risk?
• 79% of homicide victims are male
• 95% of homicide perpetrators are male
4. But…..Women are victims of partner
and family violence
Women are the most frequent victims
of intimate partner violence and they
are often killed by family members in
all countries and across all cultures
5. Intimate partner/family-related homicide (IPFM)
• Greater intensity in Americas (higher
rate), larger share of all homicides in
Asia, Europe, Oceania
• 2/3 of all victims are female
• 47% of all female victims of homicide are
killed by these perpetrators
• Those most at risk: women aged 30+
6. IPFM in 2012
:
• Total female victims of homicide:
93,000
• Total female victims of IPFM
homicide : 43,600
47% of all female victims killed
by their intimate partners or
family members
(Compared to 6% of all male
victims killed by IPFM)
7.
8.
9. Femicide, a bad habit hard to eradicate:
IPFM rather stable overtime, despite other forms of
homicidal and male violence can show remarkable
decreases
10.
11.
12.
13. The majority of female homicide victims are murdered
by people who are expected to care for them, the
majority of men are killed by people they may not
know
14. Home is the place where a woman is at highest
risk of being killed
15. IPFM Homicide: an indicator to monitor the tip of
the iceberg of VAW
But an indicator which can quite easily be regularly monitored
over time
16. The ICCS: a hierarchical framework that groups
and organizes criminal offences meaningfully
and systematically.
It allows to:
o Build a comprehensive stat. framework on all criminal
offences to facilitate analysis of crime
o Improve comparability across countries and through time
o Improve data consistency within countries:
• across entities in federal states
• across data produced by successive stages of criminal justice process
• across sources (admin. data and surveys)
International Classification of Crime for Statistical Purposes
(ICCS)
17. Additional attributes
Disaggregating variables:
• Event descriptions: Use of weapon, location, organised crime,
attempted/completed
• Victim descriptions: natural person (age, sex, age status, citizenship), legal
entity/business (economic sector), public entity
• Perpetrator descriptions: ages, sex, age status, citizenship, victim-
perpetrator relationship
Data descriptions (Metadata):
• Inclusion of threats, aiding, accomplice, conspiracy, incitament
21. By defining and better developing
statistics to measure femicide,
violence against women can be
brought to light, and data can then be
used to influence policy and programs
to respond to and prevent violence.
Thank you for your attention.
Editor's Notes
Global average male homicide rate is 9.9 per 100,000 males (almost 4 times the global female average of 2.7 per 100,000 females)
In contrast to the global picture of homicide victims, victims of intimate partner and family violence are mostly women.
It is estimated that of all the women killed in 2012 (93,000 women), 43,600 (47 per cent) were killed by their family members or intimate partners,
whereas 20,000 of all male homicide victims (6 per cent) were killed by such perpetrators. Thus, at the global level, more than twice as many women as
men are killed by their intimate partners or family members.
the highest numbers of female victims of intimate partner and family related violence take place in Asia (about 20,000 victims in 2013) and Africa (about 13,000 victims), but their relative share in the total number of female homicides in each region tells a slightly different story.
Of particular note is the fact that most (over 50 per cent) female victims of homicide in Asia, Europe and Oceania are killed by their intimate partners or family members. As such, the killing of women in those regions is effectively a function of intimate partner/family related violence and, in some countries in those regions, the elimination of intimate partner/family member homicides would substantially reduce the total number of female homicides.
in countries with very low (and decreasing) homicide rates (less than 1 per 100,000 population), female victims constitute an increasing share of total victims and, in some of those countries, the share of male and female victims appears to be reaching parity. For example, in Japan and Hong Kong, China, which have some of the lowest homicide rates in the world (0.3 and 0.4 per 100,000 population in 2011-2012, respectively), females account for just
over half of all victims of homicide
This figure shows how IPFM violence is much harder to be eradicated than other forms of homicide.
There is a striking difference on the trend of total male and female homicide where the pace of the decrease is noticeably faster for rates of male homicide than for rates of female homicide, and the historical gender gap is closing. If such trends continue, in years to come, there could be more female homicide victims than male victims in a number of countries.
