Men are far more likely to kill other men than they are to kill women, though women are over twice as likely to kill men as they are to kill other women. Because men do the lion’s share (89.6%) of the murdering, this works out to 32.6% of homicides involving an offender and victim of opposite sex and 67.4% involving people of the same sex.

Most murder, like most violent crime in general, is intraracial. Interracial murder represents 15.7% of all homicide. Some 84.3% of all murderers and murder victims are of the same race, broadly defined.  The [[FBI]] breaks offenders and victims down into three [[racial]] categories—[[White]], [[Black]], and Other. Most [[Hispanic]]s are consequently included in the White figures while [[Asian]]s, [[American Indian]]s, and people of mixed race are amalgamated into the Other category.

While whites (including many Hispanics) constitute 76% of the [[United States]] population, they perpetrate just 31% of the interracial homicide that takes place within its borders.
