It is my observation and my personal experience that every time someone in your social circle commits a crime, violent or otherwise, the circumstances vary, and what you have to do varies. Really quite a lot. It's a good thing to start with the resolution to put the victim first. Sometimes there are peripheral victims who need to be put second, and who they are and how that goes and what it means will vary so much that...yeah. It's good to have general principles that are sound, but the thought-experiments of what-would-I-do are really not going to get to the heart of the reality of the matter, because the details start to matter so very much.
