It's always worth thinking about what could have been done better by everyone involved, including victims.

I don't get this insatiable drive some people have for passing judgement. God forbid if we try to actually understand situations, how they happen, how they could be prevented, etc. instead of merely angrily shouting "IT'S BAD!"

9 times out of 10 I see "victim blaming" being used it's some holier-than-thou moral superiority stuff. I'm not interested in moral judgements, I'm interested in understanding problems and seeing how we can prevent them from happening again. I don't care about any moral judgement good or bad in these types of discussions; that doesn't mean I don't have one, but I see no value in sharing it here.

Yeah. Many crimes can be prevented by avoiding high risk behavior and learning to recognize the signs of a developing violent situation. It doesn't excuse the criminal's actions but it can give us a chance to escape unharmed.
