No. Vincent has made it clear in interviews that he is straight and likes the ladies. He was married to actress Greta Scacci from 1990-93. The couple have one child together, a daughter named Leila. After their divorce, Vincent dated several models and actresses in New York, including his "Spanish Judges" co-star Valeria Golina, a well-known Italian actress. In 1997, Vincent married his current wife, Carin Van Der Donk, a graphic artist and the owner of a children's clothing boutique in New York. He and Carin have two sons together. Elias was born in 1999 and Luca was born in 2008. Some people have questioned the possibility of Vincent being gay or bi, most likely because he gave such a convincing performance in "The Velocity of Gary" playing a bi-sexual ex-porn star who dies of AIDS. Vincent also played a gay man in the short film "Nunzio's second Cousin" which is a short film that's part of the "Boys Life" series of films. Vincent has often said he likes to take roles that "scare" him and that he finds personally challenging. Apart from playing straight and gay characters, he's played a serial killer (The Cell), a bi-polar author who commits suicide(The Whole Wide World) an alien (Men In Black) a tango dancer (Naked Tango, and he did his own dancing) and several other "unusual" characters.

Famed black author William Du Bois offered a viewpoint early in the 20th century that continues to have some validity today:
There are no reliable statistics to which one can safely appeal to measure exactly the growth of crime among the emancipated slaves. About seventy per cent of all prisoners in the South are black; this, however, is in part explained by the fact that accused Negroes are still easily convicted and get long sentences, while whites still continue to escape the penalty of many crimes even among themselves. And yet allowing for all this, there can be no reasonable doubt but that there has arisen in the South since the [civil] war a class of black criminals, loafers, and ne'er-do-wells who are a menace to their fellows, both black and white.
Today Hispanics are in the prison population in about 1.5 times their proportion in the general population, and blacks are in prison in about 3 times their proportion. There is no general consensus why this is true. Wikipedia has a good article on this.

What are the main similarities between Law and Order and Law and Order SUV?
Both shows have two very important parts- the police who investigate the crimes and the district attorneys who prosecute the crimes in court. Law and Order involves a group of deectives who investigate various crimes from bank robberies, to muggings, to rapes and murders. Then the district attorney prosecutes the suspect in court. In Law and Order SVU, the group of detectives belong to a special division of the NYPD that investigates only sexually based crimes. Then the district attorney's office has a special attorney assigned to prosecute these specific suspects. Both shows have the same idea. Law and order focuses more on the lawyers while Law and Order SUV focuses more on the investigation by deectives and phsychologists.
