Wisconsin 720 Law Enforcement Academy Phase III Practice Exam

Which statement correctly describes a protected victim under Special Battery?

A LEO, unborn child, or judge are protected victims Only family members are protected Only property is protected Only minors are protected

Correct Answer:

A LEO, unborn child, or judge are protected victims

Explanation:

Special Battery raises the severity of the charge when the victim is one of a defined set of people the law protects because of their role or vulnerability. The protected victims include a law enforcement officer, a judge, or an unborn child. This reflects a policy intent to shield those who perform important public duties and those who cannot defend themselves. That’s why the statement listing a LEO, an unborn child, or a judge as protected victims is correct. It isn’t limited to family members, minors, or property, which is why the other options don’t fit.
