Violent Victimization within One Native American Indian Tribe

This study examines victimization data collected
during the Southern Ute Indian community Safety
Survey, a study of crime and violence on the
Southern Ute Indian reservation located in Ignacio,
Colorado USA. It was found that poor, young,
female, Indians, experienced higher rates of violent
victimization. When compared to non-Indians, it was
also found that simply being an Indian made Indians
more likely to become a victim of violence than the
non-Indians in this study.
