Thanks for the clarification, rb. And I wholly agree with what you've said here...

Even if a person is assaulted in cold blood and presses charges, getting their attacker in jail, that person does not have to become a "victim" to the crime (in the personal sense, not the legal sense). One can see justice done without surrendering one's own power over the situation, if that makes sense. Anyway, makes sense to me.
