Based on the self-reports of victims of violence, women account for about 14% of violent offenders--an annual average of about 2.1 million violent offenders. Male offending equals about 1 violent offender for every 9 males age 10 or older, a per capita rate 6 times that of a woman. Three out of four violent female offenders committed simple assault. An estimated 28% of violent female offenders are juveniles. Three out of four victims of violent offenders were women. Nearly 2 out of 3 victims had a prior relationship with the female offender. An estimated 4 in 10 women committing violence were perceived by the victim as being under the influence of alcohol and/or drugs at the time of the crime.
