These people wer try to find are human beings, living human lives and making human mistakes. Along the way, while finding out who they are, and why they would have been a victim of a crime, we find out things sometimes about them, that if we talk about them, can be seen by some as being victim bashing when it's not, when all we are trying to do is link if that characteristic of the person came into play as to why this crime happened to them.
I don't know how to do that without it coming off as bashing when all it is is a point of discussion and how it lead to figuring out what happened to the victim. JMO
