Without wanting to speculate on causes, generally the most common
victims of late night urban violence are young males. OK, I will
speculate on causes a bit - the majority of those cases are not where
the victim is freely taking part in a fight...
There have been plenty of good studies done on the divergence of levels
of crime and levels of *fear* of crime in various populations. If you
want to second-guess most of them, take the discourse of our popular
press and reverse it.
