According to the U.S. Bureau of Justice Statistics, 18.7 million people were victimized by a violent or property crime in 2010. Approximately 29 percent of individuals victimized by violence that year—or more than 1 million people—sustained an injury as a result of the crime committed against them (Truman, 2011). As a direct result of these crimes, victims suffer untold losses from property theft and damage, cash losses, medical expenses, and lost pay due to injuries or activities related to the crime.
