Certainly.
In game, press F12 and watch the limited engagements video involving CCP Rise:

There he states it clearly.
Since CCP abandoned the eve wiki which had the clearest outline of it, they now recommend the Eve-Uni Wiki, which also states it clearly:
Engaging a Legal Target
If engaging a corporation member (with friendly fire enabled) or war target:
- No additional timers
If engaging a criminal, suspect, outlaw (security status below -5), or corporation member (friendly fire disabled):
- Gain a limited engagement timer with your target
- Lasts 5 minutes from the most recent aggressive act
- Allows the target to shoot back without consequenceshttp://wiki.eveuniversity.org/Aggression_101
The most basic class available from Eve-Uni on aggression. Clearly states outlaws (sec status below -5) are legal targets.
Now, Eve-Uni also state it even more clearly on the Security Status page:
Outlaw
Once your security status drops to -5.0 or below (technically -4.95) you become an ColorTag-SkullOrange9.gif outlaw, also commonly referred to as "perma flashy".
It means anyone can attack you at any time without CONCORD interfering, even in high security space. It also means that assisting you would be a criminal offense, even for your own corporation members. That means anyone who needs to assist you would have to turn their safeties off to assist, and in the process temporarily become a criminal for fifteen minutes. In highsec this means that CONCORD will destroy you if you assist an outlaw, even though they leave the outlaw alone (it is the faction police's job to hunt outlaws).http://wiki.eveuniversity.org/Security_status
Here is another site now also recommended by CCP since they abandoned their own wiki> Also extremely clearly written:
Outlaws
Once your security status hits -5 you become an outlaw. You will show as "blinky red" in the overview of other players.
You may attack and kill the ship and pod of an outlaw. Be very aware that if you engage the outlaw then they may defend themselves. In this case you get no help from any sentry guns.
If you attempt to repair an outlaw, you will be criminally flagged and station/gate guns WILL fire at you.http://eve-wiki.net/index.php?title=Aggression_and_Criminal_Flagging
There are several other sources too, though since the removal of the CCP wiki, they have primarily recommended the Eve-Uni wiki as the place to go to.
You should probably go and post your questions in New Citizens Q & A. There's no expectation there that you have knowledge, which in your case seems totally appropriate. Come back to GD when you understand what you are posting.
