Il dit seulement « person in act of crime ». Mais il est fréquent dans les formulaires quecomme l'espace est restreint, quelques mots sont supprimés. Le choix des mots n'est pas toujours heureux... Merci à tous!

CAUSE OF INJURY CODES .. 89 Hostile attack-person in act of crime
attaqué lors de la commission de crime


Explanation:
this being the only occurrence on the Net of "Person in Act of Crime" and being related to insurance, it is the most likely context.

This ST is about reporting injuries at the work place caused by "Hostile attack-person in act of crime" (code 89 for CAUSE OF INJURY CODES)

"South Dakota Employer’s First Report of Injury
(See Instructions on Back of Form)
...
CAUSE OF INJURY CODES
...
89 Hostile attack-person in act of crime"
[www.hagangroup.com/pdfs/1st_report_injury.doc]

a link from Canada, also about work-related injuries, quoting:

"California Division of Workers' Compensation: Number of Workers' Compensation Claims, by Cause of Injury, 2000 - 2012
...
Miscellaneous Causes from absorption, ingestion or inhalation, NOC, foreign matter (body) in eye(s), natural disasters (earthquake, hurricane, tornado, etc.), person in act of crime (robbery or criminal assault), other than physical cause of injury, mold, terrorism, cumulative, NOC, other miscellaneous, NOC.
..."

BTW why they need to add "Hostile" is a bit of mystery (what would be a "friendly attack"?)

neutral  writeaway: 100% confidence? based on what? /I find where it seems to be used. All asker has to do is phone an insurance company and ask.
7 hrs
  -> it's a quite unusual term used in official statistics that are accessible on the Net. What's the probability of exactly that wording being used in some secret documents in a different meaning? a secret insurance form?

Shows that once again, context makes all the difference. Why this wasn't provided by Asker is one beyond me.

  -> well, it's on forms and it's about insurance. none of the answers make any sense either. Am amazed people are willing to answer with 100% guesses. only option open until/unless context rolls in.
agree  Daryo: Asker being based in Canada seems most likely to be relevant // what I really fail to understand is anyone expecting a usable/reliable translation without providing enough information to narrow down to the relevant option amongst all possible variants.
