Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Murder is not a crime that can be experienced or reported by a victim. It involves the death of a person, and therefore, the question of whether someone has been a victim of murder is irrelevant. The other crimes listed - aggravated assault, burglary, and sexual assault - are crimes that can be experienced by a victim and would likely be included in a survey asking about victimization experiences.
