“One of the problems that we have in the human rights community is that special interests often forget the interests of other victims, and there's competition among victims expressions that are unnecessary.” HumansProblemInterestCommunityForgetRightsSpecialExpressionVictimCompetitionHuman RightsUnnecessarySpecial Interests Author:Alfred-Maurice de Zayas
“Self-defense is only an illusion, a dark cloak beneath which lurks a razor-sharp dagger waiting to be plunged into the first unwary victim. Whoever declares that any weapon manufactured today, whether it be a nuclear missile or a .38 special, is created for self-defense should look a little more closely at his own image in the mirror. Either he is a liar or is deceiving himself.” ShouldFirstsLooksLittlesSelfTodayWaitingDarkSpecialWeaponsIllusionMirrorsVictimDefenseNuclearLiarsDeceivingMissilesSelf DefenseCloaksRazorsDaggersNuclear Missiles Author:Wong Shun Leung
“There`s a division in most major police departments called, `Special Victims Unit,` which is what sex crimes are euphemistically called. They`re considered the most heinous crimes, when not only do you violate somebody, but you violate them sexually. So it`s an elite squad that takes care of that.” CareSexSpecialCrimeMajorsPoliceVictimTake CareDepartmentDivisionElitesUnitsSexuallySquadPolice DepartmentHeinous Crimes Author:Richard Belzer
“Honestly, some cases have been more famous than others - like Tot Mom, or Steven Avery, or Scott Peterson - but I would not characterize any one as being more special to me, more intriguing, or more important because that would be placing one victim as more important, or one defendant as more [notorious] than others, and I don't think that's right.” ThinkingHas BeensImportantWould BeCasesSpecialMomVictimHonestlyIntriguingNotoriousSpecial To MeTots Author:Nancy Grace

“What do you want with these special Jewish pains?

“It is a mistake to confound strangeness with mystery. The most commonplace crime is often the most mysterious because it presents no new or special features from which deductions may be drawn. This murder would have been infinitely more difficult to unravel had the body of the victim been simply found lying in the roadway without any of those outré and sensational accompaniments which have rendered it remarkable. These strange details, far from making the case more difficult, have really had the effect of making it less so.” MayHas BeensBodyLyingFoundDifficultMistakeCasesMysterySpecialEffectsCrimeStrangeMurderVictimDetailsMysteriousFeaturesRemarkableCommonplaceStrangenessDeductionsSensational Author:Arthur Conan Doyle

“Discrimination is discrimination no matter who the victim is, and it is always wrong.

“Christians, indeed, have a special obligation not to forget how great and how inextinguishable the human proclivity for violence is, or how many victims it has claimed, for they worship a God who does not merely take the part of those victims, but who was himself one of them, murdered by the combined authority and moral prudence of the political, religious, and legal powers of human society.” HumansDoeChristianPoliticalReligiousForgetMoralViolenceSpecialAuthorityWorshipVictimObligationPrudenceHuman Society Author:David Bentley Hart
