Looking for crime statistics

[space-time]

I think it is easy to find reports about how many white vs black people were killed by police.

Is there a database where I can look up how many white people were killed by white people, how many white people were killed by black people, who many black people were killed by white people and finally how many black people were killed by black people?

curiosity. I am curious if same race murders are more or less common than interracial murders.

It's something the Fibbies keep track of … though the most recent is from 2019…

According to the FBI, around 80% of murder victims were killed by an acquaintance, a romantic partner, or a family member. So it makes sense that victim and offender would be the same race in many cases. Offenders are nearly always male, and most use firearms to commit the crime.

So the "good guy with a gun" could be an acquaintance, a romantic partner, or a family member I guess.

And despite the fact that California having an "Assault Weapon Ban" it isn't rifles causing the problem. https://ucr.fbi.gov/crime-in-the-u.s/201...s/table-20 More ignorant lawmakers and emotional, irrational voters. Close to 16 times more murders by non-firearms than by rifles. Even if ALL non-specified firearm deaths were rifles, still twice as many non-firearm murders.

Bad people will always find a way.

If you're talking about the state of California, they reported 34 deaths by rifle and 437 by non-firearms, which comes to 12 times more murders by non-firearms than rifles.

And any argumentum that this somehow makes outlawing assault rifles inappropriate is disingenuous at best.

From your own link, they had 1679 total murders reported, of which 1142 were reported as murders by firearm. That's 68 percent of all murders. A whole lot of murders by gun-wielders.

Every little bit helps. There's nothing wrong with starting with regulating the sale of the most deadly weapons and moving down from there to regulating the most-used-in-murder weapons (handguns) as they can, later.

252+183+102 is a lot more than 437

Evil looking black rifle sounds more scary than box knife and stick.

Hands, fists and feet were used 3 times more........in Cali

Illinois was 7, yes, 7 rifles. Not the tool of choice. Washington, 5.

"Police Superintendent David Brown on Monday was back to lamenting, as he has in the past, that at least some of the shootings involved people he contends should not have been on the streets.

He pointed to a suspect in the shooting of six people, two of whom died. He said the person had seven felony arrests and at the time of the shooting and had been released from jail and placed on electronic monitoring after being charged with being a felon in possession of a firearm.

“It’s beyond frustrating,” he said."

Criminals don't care about laws.
