Hi,

Well said.
IMHO, Target is suitable term with responder and reporter, we never no who is the real victim sometimes if no witnesses. After investigation we get to know if target is victim. If you assume witnesses available then "victim" is the right word replacing "target" but still we need to change the other two terms.
