Demographic characteristics of both offenders and victims can structure US crime trends.
“Demographic characteristics-of both people who commit crimes and people who are victims of crimes-can structure US crime trends (Rosenfeld and Weisburd 2016).”
From The Rise of the Carceral State: Foundations and Contours of a Rapidly Changing Criminal Legal System (2025) · cites this paper as Rosenfeld and Weisburd 2016
The Abstract identifies demographic change and differences in crime trends by age, race, ethnicity, and gender as important to explaining overall US crime trends. It also says trends can reflect changes in offending and victimization, but it does not link victims’ demographic characteristics specifically to those trends. (LLM, conf=0.82)

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
