At least in the screenshots posted, "other" was only an option for offenders, not victims.

- ZeroGravitas 4y agoYeah, it's a summary and “Asian, Native American, Native Alaskan, 2 or more races, Pacific islander, etc." didn't have very many samples so they grouped them. There's more detail in the reports I linked, both offender and victim. Notably one of the items has this warning note: "! Interpret with caution. Estimate is based on 10 or fewer sample cases, or coefficient of variation is greater than 50%." As this is survey data so like polling they have to multiply responses to get the final answer and once you start subdividing by victim demographic and crime type and offender demographic, you're hitting the limits of what useful info you can extract without it just being random noise.
