Abstract
Inter-racial offending, and the related question of racial motivation for criminal assault, is an important area of criminological research. It is a sensitive issue, however, which requires veridical models and accurate interpretation. Three models of inter-racial offending which have been previously described in the literature are contrasted and their difficulties of interpretation are discussed.
