Ecu, when I was talking about "violent" and "non-violent" crime, I was meaning violence against the person! A break in, whilst extremely upsetting (as opposed to traumatic!!!!) is a crime against property, not the person!
i disagree .... i'm not sure what crime against property means? i mean even graffiti can be taken really personally..
i think part of the problem is the depersonalisation of incidents that can have profound effects of the affected person
GOD BLESS!
Peace and Love,
Ecu - of course crime against property, whether your home, car, graffiti etc can be 'personal' and extremely upsetting, but still not in the same league as violence against YOU! 'Upsetting' is not the same as 'traumatic'!
And YES, I fully agree that the impact of a crime needs to be taken into account more, but that impact needs to be realistically measured! And as I've stated, I DO know what it's like to have your home broken into (and my car!) - horrible, upsetting and invasive - but still not 'traumatic'!!
