"Threat" was not included for the reason that the suspect in this particular case does not choose the woman to be the victim because she is a woman, thus, it is being treated as commor or regular crime that falls under
general investigation and not under the concern of the women and children investigation (not gender-based case). The 2015 data on "Threat" case involving women victims was generated from the DIDM Crime Incident
Reporting System (CIRS) database.
