This SVG file was originally produced in Inkscape or a similar vector graphics editor but later modified in a text editor to clean up XML source code, add sophisticated features which cannot be used in Inkscape, or reduce the file size. Editors are strongly discouraged from overwriting this SVG file with one saved in Inkscape, even the "Plain SVG" format. Workarounds should be employed to maintain code neatness so other editors can access this file in a text editor with ease.

This file is translated using SVG <switch> elements. All translations are stored in the same file! Learn more.

For most Wikipedia projects, you can embed the file normally (without a lang parameter). The Wikipedia will use its language if the SVG file supports that language. For example, the German Wikipedia will use German if the SVG file has German. To embed this file in a particular language use the lang parameter with the appropriate language code, e.g. [[File:United States homicide offending rates by race 1980 2008.svg|lang=en]] for the English version. Do not specify a lang parameter if it is not needed. The parameter may prevent the use of a subsequent translation.

To translate the text into your language, you can use the SVG Translate tool. Alternatively, you can download the file to your computer, add your translations using whatever software you're familiar with, and re-upload it with the same name. You will find help in Graphics Lab if you're not sure how to do this.

Summary

Description	English: A line chart presenting data about and depicting trends in the number of individuals identified as homicide offenders, separated by race, from the year 1980 to 2008, in the United States. For the most relevant definitions of the terms "white" and "black", refer to race and ethnicity as used in the United States Census. These statistics may be affected by racial disparities in the United States criminal justice system. Based on data from: Alexia D. Cooper, Erica L. Smith, Bureau of Justice Statistics (2011-11-16). Homicide Trends in the United States, 1980-2008. NCJ 236018. Page 11. Archived at https://web.archive.org/web/20180330165915/https://www.bjs.gov/index.cfm?ty=pbdetail&iid=2221 Data in this chart appears in the file `htus8008f18.csv` included in the "Spreadsheets" link from that web page. The accompanying text reads: Trends by race Figure 17 Figure 18 Blacks were disproportionately represented among homicide victims and offenders In 2008, the homicide victimization rate for blacks (19.6 homicides per 100,000) was 6 times higher than the rate for whites (3.3 homicides per 100,000). The victimization rate for blacks peaked in the early 1990s, reaching a high of 39.4 homicides per 100,000 in 1991 (figure 17). After 1991, the victimization rate for blacks fell until 1999, when it stabilized near 20 homicides per 100,000. In 2008, the offending rate for blacks (24.7 off enders per 100,000) was 7 times higher than the rate for whites (3.4 off enders per 100,000) (figure 18). The offending rate for blacks showed a similar pattern to the victimization rate, peaking in the early 1990s at a high of 51.1 offenders per 100,000 in 1991. After 1991, the offending rate for blacks declined until it reached 24 per 100,000 in 2004. The rate has since fluctuated, increasing to 28.4 offenders per 100,000 in 2006 before falling again to 24.7 offenders per 100,000 in 2008. (This image corresponds to "figure 18".
