The audience for a report may include officers, superiors, state officials, lawyers, judges, victims, families of victims, or defendants.

• A. False
• B. True
• C. Only officers
• D. Only judges

Answer: (B)

Audiences for a report can include a broad range of people connected to the matter, not just one group. The relevance and content determine who needs to see it, so the audience can vary from internal staff to external officials, and even to those personally affected. In this context, the listed groups—officers, superiors, state officials, lawyers, judges, victims, families of victims, or defendants—could all be recipients depending on the report’s purpose. That makes the statement true. Saying otherwise would ignore the possibility of sharing findings with different stakeholders or would inappropriately restrict the audience to a single role, like only officers or only judges.
