| Resumen |
Immigrants to the United States are disproportionately victims of homicide mortality in and outside the workplace. Examining their experiences with nonfatal victimization may be helpful in understanding immigrant vulnerability to violence. This study compared the annual prevalence of nonfatal personal victimization experienced by immigrants and adults born in the United States by socio-demographics, employment, occupation, industry, smoking, and alcohol and drug use. It was found that the prevalence of victimization among immigrants was comparable to that of adults born in the United States. Employment status, industry or occupations were not significant risk factors for becoming victims of violence. |
