Utilizing both victim surveys and official police data can be useful in painting the most realistic picture. To explain vio- lent crime and the risks involved, it’s necessary to first state what violent crime is. Various acts are considered violent crimes, but they generally fall within one of four categories. Murder, or hom i cide, is the killing of another human being with con- ditions and consequences specifically covered under the law. Violent crime may also consist of rape and sexual assaults—sexual interactions that are forced upon the vic- tim. A third type of violent crime is aggravated assault, in which one person attacks another person, with or without a weapon, and seriously injures the victim. Robbery is the forceful taking of someone’s property against his or her will.
