Definition
受害 (shòu hài) is a general term for being harmed or victimized, covering crime, disaster, or injury. It differs from 受伤 (shòu shāng), which is specifically physical injury, and from 遭受 (zāo shòu), which is used with abstract nouns like loss or criticism. 受害 emphasizes the resulting state of being harmed.
