    And yet when you track crime, hopefully you have the intent of using that to prevent and deter future crimes, and if you end up treating a school shooting like a bar fight or vice versa, you’re not gonna get the results you want. The victims conditions are not the reason for crime statistics, I doubt it matters much what the victims were thinking when it comes to preventing future perps.
