I'm looking for detailed statistics concerning Asian American women victims of sex crimes and/or abuse. Crimes may include but don't necessarily have to be limited to rape, sexual abuse, or domestic violence. I'm particularly interested in data that includes the race or ethnic background of the attacker. If national data can't be found for the United States, data for smaller locales with high concentrations of Asian Americans will be acceptable. For example, statewide data for California or Hawaii, or even city data for cities such as San Francisco or Honolulu. Information presented in a clear and easily readable format is preferred. I don't have any statistical software, so downloadable files meant to be read in such programs are out of the question. I'm more interested in aggregate numbers and not individual interviews or case studies. If no online resources can be found, information pointing the way to offline resources may be acceptable. |

The following information comes from a 2001 report of the U.S. Justice Department, available as a set of spreadsheets in ZIP format at (http://www.ojp.usdoj.gov/bjs/abstract/vvr98.htm). An average of 8,150 Asian Americans a year were victims of sexual assault or rape between 1993 and 1998. That is a rate of 1.2 per 1,000 people, compared to 1.8 for whites, 2.2 for blacks and 5.8 for American Indians. The rate of rape and sexual assault victims per 1,000 Asian American *women* was 1.8 per 1,000 people. For Asian American men, it was 0.5 per 1,000. Of 178,880 Asian American victims of violent crime in the 6-year study period, 35 percent identified their attacker as white, 26 percent as black, 30 percent as "other" (presumably including Asian), 3 percent as mixed-race and 6 percent as unknown. The report does not break down that chart by type of crime; however, the person listed as a contact may be able to get that for you. Eleven percent of violent crimes committed against Asian Americans occured in the home, compared to 14 percent for whites, 18 percent for blacks and 15 percent for Native Americans. Again, there is no breakdown for type of violent crime. If you need anything else, please let me know with a request for clarification. I hope this answer meets your needs.
