Yes, but it is a per capita rate of the perpetrators, not the victims.
Let me give an even more extreme example to illustrate the difference.
Let's say the population of a town is 1,000 white, 10 black. In that town, there are 5 black on white crimes and 10 white on black crimes.
In this town, the incidents of black on white offenders is 5/10 or a rate of 500/1000. The incidents of white on black offenders is 10/1000, which would also be the rate, since we're looking at per 1000. If you make this table like the one posted, blacks are 50 times more likely to commit crimes against whites than vice versa. (500/1000 vs 10/1000)
But if you look at the victims, it's a different story. There are 10 blacks in the town and 10 white on black crimes. The incidence of black victims is 10/10, or a rate of 1000/1000. The incidence of white victims is 5/1000. So in this town, blacks are 200 TIMES MORE LIKELY to be victims of white on black crimes than vice-versa. (Emphasis added because that's the way the NY Slimes would do it.)
My points:
1. The same numbers can tell two different stories that are both lies, depending on who you want to scare. (Lies, damned lies, and statistics.)
2. You can't just transpose those numbers.
