Incident Victim Template

Contents

Introduction

This template connects one or multiple victims to each specific incident. In cases of incidents when there are crimes against property, such as vandalism in Field 5 of this template, Valid Value 8 (school/school facility) should be used. Note that not all incidents will have a victim. For example, a fighting incident will not have a victim (all parties are considered offenders in this case). See Appendix Z in Volume 2 of the PIMS User Manual for more information (the "Infraction has Victims?" column). If there are no victims associated with the incident, do not submit any records in this template.

Grain: One record per Submitting District Code / Incident ID / Victim ID / School Year Date
