The role of a victim's race on his or her probability of being seriously injured in an interracial crime is analyzed. Findings show some evidence of increased likelihood of white victims to be seriously harmed in an aggravated assault compared to black victims. The likelihood of homicide in interracial crimes is also investigated.
