93% of all sexual assaults are intra-racial. This means that White men are the primary perpetrators of sexualized violence against White women, and likewise African-American women and women of color are most commonly assaulted by African-American men and men of color. Of the 7% of sexual assaults that are interracial, 3.4% involve the assault of a Black woman by a White man, while 3.3% involve the assault of a White woman by a Black man (Menachem Amir, criminologist, 1991)

I read that this statistic applies to all types of violent crimes, but I can't find where exactly I read that. I was thinking to make a post because I've seen a lot of people lately--especially women--talking about abolishing prisons and I was wondering "who would that benefit?" and "who are those victimized in case prisons are abolished?".
