Impact of Immigration on Ethnic-Specific Violence in Miami, Florida, 1997
Does the rate of violent victimization differ across race
and ethnic groups? In an effort to answer this question, this study
sought to examine the violent victimization rate and the factors
influencing ethnic-specific rates of violence in the city of
Miami. Administrative data were obtained from the United States Bureau
of the Census and the Miami Police Department Research Unit. For the
groups of people identified as Afro Americans, Latinos, and Haitians,
the numbers who were victims of aggravated assault and robbery in 1997
are included along with the assault and robbery rates for each
group. The remaining variables are the percent of female-headed
households, percent below poverty line, percent of young males out of
the labor force and unemployed, residential instability, vacant and
household instability, and the percent of 1980-1990 immigrants.
