Beyond 20/20

When it comes to victim-to-offender relationships, there are three scenarios and Crime Insight expects specific XML nodes/tags to avoid error 401:

1.  When all of the following are true:

    a) The incident contains a crime against person or robbery

    b) The victim is a person

    c) The offender(s) is/are known

The incident must include:

    a) the <SubjectVictimAssociation> tag

    b) the contained <Subject> tag, 

    c) the contained <Victim> tag, and 

    d) the contained <VictimToSubjectRelationshipCode>.

2.  When all of the following are true:

    a) The incident contains a crime against property apart from robbery

    b) The victim is a person

    c) The offender(s) is/are known

The incident may include (but doesn't need to):

    a) the <SubjectVictimAssociation> tag

    b) the contained <Subject> tag, 

    c) the contained <Victim> tag, and 

    d) the contained <VictimToSubjectRelationshipCode>.

3.  When all of the following are true:

    a) The incident contains a crime against person or robbery

    b) The victim is a person

    c) The offender(s) is/are unknown

The incident must include:

    a) the <SubjectVictimAssociation> tag

    b) the contained <Subject> tag, and

    c) the contained <Victim> tag.

But it may not contain the <VictimToSubjectRelationshipCode>.
