¹ The term victim may refer to an individual, business/financial institution, government entity, religious organization, or society/public as a whole.
² The term known offender does not imply the suspect's identity is known; rather, the term indicates some aspect of the suspect was identified, thus distinguishing the suspect from an unknown offender.
³ A multiple-bias incident is an incident in which one or more offense types are motivated by two or more biases.
