Even if she had somehow survived, being a victim of violence like this would’ve pushed her further into homelessness and make it so much harder to get her life back on track.

People who dismiss crime concerns as a fabrication from the media should be aware of the harm it actually causes.

This is very overlooked. Homeless or not, violent crime victims who survive may face long term injuries both physical and mental. Loss of income from not working, careers ended, thier families affected. The impact is felt often long after the crime is commited.

In NYC most cases now the criminal is freed to commit more crime, and continue to be a drag on society as a whole. Very sad to keep seeing this.
