That's insufficient if you want to be sensitive to group-specific problems.

For instance, should we just classify trans victims of violence as "victims"?

Also, in the case of rape, there is a medical need to know whether pregnancy is a possible consequence. Whether the police have to be the ones to use the right bins to make that determination is another matter, but at least in some contexts, yes, it matters.
