SYSTEM FOR INVESTIGATING AND CLASSIFYING VIOLENT CRIMES SECOND EDITION
Harvey preyed
on the elderly, infirm, or chronically ill, most of them in- volved in a
caregiver-client relationship with him. Most of the confirmed deaths took place
in an institutional setting, which would have been considered a low-risk
environment for the victims. However, the victims’ debilitated condition that
necessitated total dependence on a caregiver elevated their risk of becoming
the victim of a violent crime. A few of Harvey’s victims were outside the
institutional setting, but he targeted them for revenge, not mercy killing.
