The rates of these personal crimes vary depending on one’s judgement that has been made. When a woman or male of any age decides to be walking around a high crime neighborhood than the risk level is extremely high. Senior citizens have a chance to maintain the lowest rates of violent crime unless as mentioned prior, or they are in the drug business. “Males are victimized more than females, but not by much (18.4 vs 15.8) per thousand. There are big differences per crime category; more men are victims of robbery and serious assault, the rates for simple assault are identical, while women are raped.”(crimeinamerica,2010) The crimes that continue to build the statistics all have their own meanings and consequences from the criminal justice system, but all remain under the same title of harming an individual whether guilty or innocent of any previous charges, if any at all.
