Where can I find statistics for American prisons?

European American Relationships

• I am looking for specific statisitics on European-American marriages and relationships. For example: How many Euro-American long term relationships and/or marriages are there in the U.S. today? What percentage of marriages in the U.S. are of an American to a European? How many U.S. born people are currently in long term relationships and/or marriages to Europeans? What percentage of marriages in the EU or Europe are Europeans who are marrying Americans? Answers to one or more of these questions will suffice, given that the information source is cited and that the answer and source are credible. (i.e. Please do not get the information off of Joe-Bob's homemade website). Further information on European-American relationships is helpful, but I need to have specific and reliable statistics of some sort. Finally, if you can find information about German-American relationships (the statisitical information that I have already requested related to European-American relationships) that would suffice, as well, for an answer to my question. Thank you.

  Hello, Since you indicated that information about the German-American aspect would suffice,I am answering the part of your question that referred to Germany. I did what I consider an exhaustive search and could actually find ONLY German-American information! According to the German Embassy in Washington, D.C., website: http://www.germany-info.org/relaunch/info/facts/society.html There are, as of May 2000, 1,3 million bi-national married couples in Germany. Of these, 4.1 % are couples where both spouses are foreign nationals. 51.0 % have foreign national wives. Of these foreign national wives, 75% are European (12 % Polish, 8% from the former Soviet Union, 7% Turkish), 13% Asian, 8% American,3% African, 1% other. 49.0% have foreign national husbands. Of these foreign national husbands, 79% are European(15% Turkish, 14% Italian, 7% Austrian, 7% African, 6% American, 6% Asian, 2% other.) There are 17.37 million all-German couples (89.3% of married couples in Germany) There are 1.3 bi-national married couples (6.6% of married couples in Germany) There you have it!
