Pros for the victim who decides to bring criminal charges against their perpetrator include seeking justice, holding the perpetrator accountable, and potentially preventing future harm to themselves or others. However, there are also cons to consider, such as the emotional toll of going through the legal process, potential re-traumatization, and the possibility of not obtaining a conviction due to lack of evidence or other factors. It is important for victims to weigh these factors carefully and seek support from professionals to make an informed decision.

The law enforcement agency and the parents both have the option to press charges, even if the other decides not to.

Do victims precipitate in homicides?

Victims precipitate 0% of all homicides. The decision to commit the crime is still made by the perpetrator and always precipitated by that person. No matter how dumb, naive, careless, greedy, or even guilty of a crime the victim may be, the person who decides to commit the crime against them is still the perpetrator and the person who was subject to the crime is still the victim.

If it is determined to be a homicide, the killer is solely responsible for the homicide. The convictions for those that use excuses that blame the victim confirm this.
