First-time research indicates a gender gap in victims of violent crime, which has fluctuated since the 1970s, said the two study NEEDLEWORK heads, UI sociology Professor Karen Heimer and Janet Laurit- sen, a criminology professor at the University of Missouri-St. Louis. “Nobody has looked at this,” Heimer said on Tuesday. “Isn’t that amazing?” The number of females assaulted nationwide didn’t begin to decrease until 1993, while the number of male victims has been on the decline for more than 30 years, according to their data. “Looking at victimization data nationally, men’s rates for crimes, including but especially aggravated and simple assault, have been dropping off since the ’70s,” Heimer said. “Women’s rates didn’t drop until ’93.” The two discussed their study, titled “Gender, Violence, and Victimization: Female and Male Patterns Over Time,” on Feb. 16 in San Francisco as a part of the annual meeting of the American Association for the Advancement of Science.

SEE CRIME, PAGE 4A STUDY FINDS A study of nationwide crime showed several trends and sex differences that include: • Female rates of victimization have remained higher than men for homicide and violence with intimate partners. • Today, men and women are near- ly equally at risk for robbery, aggra- vated assault, and simple assault committed by non-strangers. • Victimization of men in aggra- Beth Skogen/The Daily Iowan vated and simple assaults UI intermedia graduate student Shawn Reed embroiders in his studio at the International Center on Tuesday.
