Get wise, get the facts. There is no such thing as a homicide survivor. Homicide survivors are the family and friends of a murder victim. The pain, trauma, and turmoil caused by the murder of their loved one forces them into a battle for survival. Murder victims are bad people who associate with bad people.
Murder strikes in all races, ages and socioeconomic levels.
Murder victims contribute to their own victimization. Murder victims do not want to be killed. Many are innocently shopping, returning to or from work, or sleeping in their own bed. Family and friends of murder victims should go through a grief period the same as anyone else who has lost a loved one. A homicide survivors pain for the death of their loved one is complicated and burdened with the police investigation, criminal justice system, news media, reactions of family and friends, and society as a whole.
