In 2011, U.S. households experienced about 3,394,700 burglary victimisations. Persons age 12 or older who had disabilities experienced 1.3 million nonfatal violent crimes in 2012. Nonfatal violent crimes include rape, sexual assault, robbery, aggravated assault, and simple assault. In 2012, an estimated 293,800 nonfatal violent and property hate crime victimisations occurred against persons age 12 or older residing in U.S. households. Seasonal patterns exist when similar fluctuations in the victimisation rates tend to recur each year during the same season. Seasonal patterns are a long-standing topic in both popular and scholarly literatures on crime and show how environmental factors, such as temperature changes and daylight hours, might be associated with crime throughout the year. This book discusses crime, victimisation and police contact in these crimes and victimisation. Topics include household burglary, crimes against persons with disabilities, hate crimes, and seasonal patterns in criminal victimisation trends. This book also examines requests for police assistance and police behavior during traffic and street stops.
