No one chooses to be a victim of crime. No one plans for it. No one arranges their life ahead of time to accommodate it.
Crime is always sudden, unexpected, and traumatic.
It affects the person who is attacked, and all those who care about the victim. Parents, spouse, children, sisters and brothers, and other loved ones. When there is physical injury, we think we understand the damage, for we can see the bruises and broken limbs. The whole world has changed. In the blink of an eye.
