Victim: Person who suffers as a result of a crime or other event
Victim is a term used for a person who suffers adverse circumstances, often in relation to having a crime committed against them.
If someone is robbed, he or she is the victim. If someone is killed, that person is the victim. The person who committed the crime is the culprit. Victim blaming is saying that it is the fault of the victim that a crime was committed against them.
