A STANDARD
SYSTEM FOR INVESTIGATING AND CLASSIFYING VIOLENT CRIMES SECOND EDITION
Offender risk
varies with institutional setting, depending on amount of autonomy or
supervision, shift, and quantity of staff. The victims of the hero killer may
include the critically ill patient since a medical emergency, such as a cardiac
arrest, would not appear suspicious. Infants are also included as likely
victims of the hero murderer because of their mute vulnerability. When the
crime scene is an institutional setting, the victim is one of opportunity with
an increased risk factor due to the vulnerability that illness or age imposes.
Outside the institutional setting, the hero killer’s victim is a random target
who has become a victim of opportunity by being in the building the arsonist
torches or in the zone where the emergency medical technician works.
