Fig. 1 Rates of victimization by sexual orientation and gender identity. Note: Rates per 1000 persons for violent crimes and rates per 1000 households for property crimes are plotted with 90% CIs and 95% CIs represented by the thick and thin line range about the estimate, respectively. (A) Violent crime rates, (B) differences in violent crime rates between SGM and non-SGM persons, (C) violent crime rates by victim-offender relationship, (D) differences in violent crime rates between SGM and non-SGM persons, (E) property crime rates, and (F) difference in property crime rates between SGM and non-SGM persons. Violent crime is based on individual characteristics (n = 218,439), and property crimes are estimated by SGM household (n = 145,508).
Fig. 2 Adjusted rates of victimization by sexual orientation and gender identity. Note: Rates per 1000 persons for violent crimes and rates per 1000 households for property crimes are plotted with 90% CIs and 95% CIs represented by the thick and thin line range about the estimate, respectively. (A) Adjusted violent crime rates, (B) differences in adjusted violent crime rates between SGM and non-SGM persons, (C) adjusted violent crime rates by victim-offender relationship, (D) differences in adjusted violent crime rates between SGM and non-SGM persons, (E) adjusted property crime rates, and (F) difference in adjusted property crime rates between SGM and non-SGM persons. Violent crime is based on individual characteristics (n = 215,768), and property crimes are estimated by SGM household (n = 145,508).
- Table 1 Demographics of the sample.
Note: Weighted percentages are reported with SEs estimated via direct variance estimation. An F test of independence examines whether there is a relationship between a demographic category and SGM status. T tests and P values are reported to evaluate differences between percentages of non-SGM and SGM. Unweighted sample sizes (N) are also reported.
