Transact

When you say the relationship between parties who TRANSACTED the offence -

Does it mean ONLY the relationship between co-offenders or,
can it mean the relationship between offender and victim as well?

I think 'transact' means carried out so we say victim and the offender transacted the offence?

"transacted" seems an inappropriate verb. I wondered whether it was jargon in some field, but Google search for "transacted the offence" returns a big fat zero relevant hits. We say that the offender "committed" the offence.
