Measuring and Understanding Violence
This chapter discusses the many reasons for interpersonal violence. The risk factors
such as family backgrounds, personal characteristics, and socioeconomic status are

rapist, mass murderer, etc.) and identify what influences (individual, familial, and
community) contributed to his/her offenses. Sources of data on victimization are also
provided. It is recommended that the instructor introduce students to the various
sources of crime data (Uniform Crime Reports (UCR), National Center for the
Analysis of Violent Crime (NCAVC), National Crime Victimization Survey (NCVS),
