The Victim

Victimology, or the study of victims, especially crime victims, has created new categories of victims that had not been previously noted. What are typically known as “street crimes”, such as rape, robbery, murder, and assault, have been identified as crimes since the biblical era, and the victims of such crimes have long been identifiable (Karmen, 2013). It has been the advances in the field of Victimology, and the questions which have been asked, that have identified new types of crime, and with

Victim-Judge Interaction There are many different interactions between victims and various components of the criminal justice system. This includes victims and defense attorneys, prosecutors, police, correctional officers, and juries. Each can affect the victim in its own way. In my opinion, one of the most crucial interactions is that of the victim and judge. The judge technically has the final say in determining the outcome of a case involving a victim and their offender. In Crime Victims

primary and secondary scenes. There were two victims, and two offenders. The offenders were not at the scene when officers arrived. The first victim ‘Victim A’ who eventually passed away was basically brain dead on my arrival and the other victim ‘Victim B’ had sustained damage to his brain, which will ultimately affect him for the rest of his life. Both Victims were related - Nephew and Uncle. Overall, the crime scene/s had been contaminated by the victims’ families, and other residences of the unit

Victims of a crime have been a part of a serious trauma no matter what the crime was. That crime inflicted on them will change the way that person is and lives their life to some extent. The victim themselves or a family of a victim may not know the extent of the individuals crime until the trauma has been identified through intervention. During the intervention of a victim, problem and therapeutic intervention will take place, exploring the client’s coping strategies, and referrals to human resource

them with you. The victim is distraught because of what is happening to them. This is called cyberbullying. Recently bullies have taken a new approach at hurting their victims. People can now use technology to continually harass them. Cyberbullying has become such a great problem that people now think that they should be prosecuted. Individuals should be prosecuted since it is emotionally damaging, and it has a continuous effect on the victim. Cyberbullies can cause the victims to be emotionally damaged

The process of addressing memories of private suffering within “The Victims” by Sharon Olds is implied through contradictive perspectives. In the poem there is a shift in focus and tone during line 17. The poem addresses issues of suffering from two distinct perspectives, the first coming from a little girl and the second a grown woman. The narrative, imagery and diction are different in the two contrasting parts of the poem, and the second half carefully qualifies the first, as if to illustrate

Victim facilitation, Precipitation and Provocation. Victimology is the study of victims, and the role victim plays in a criminal act. It encompasses the concept of victim facilitation, victim precipitation, and victim provocation. The concepts are used to avert blame on the victim and to understand the interaction between victims and offenders(McEvoy and Kirsten, p.534). Moreover, victimology also focuses on the connections between victims and other social groups such as medias and other institutions

An ‘ideal victim’ is someone who has played no part in their victimisation by an offender who was wholly responsible for the incident. The public can relate to the ‘ideal victims’ ordeal and although they have been through an awful sometimes incomprehensible experience society views the ‘ideal victim’ “as pure, blameless (hence passive) people against whom an evil act was omitted by a depraved individual” (Spalek, B. 2006 p25). Although most people can relate to an ‘ideal victim’ there is a ‘positivist

Victims Compensation Recovering from being a victim of any crime, specifically sexual abuse, can bring more than physical and emotional suffering, to one’s life. Each state offers a crime victims compensation program as a means for financial assistance with any costs for the victims’ services, such as, medical care, counseling, law enforcement resources, and loss of quality of life. (White House Council, 2014). These programs have a maximum that will be paid for each claim, but that varies by states

Once victims are rescued, they still have to deal with the challenging to move forward (Wasson). Victims have to deal with finding a home, getting clothing, legal services, physically and mentally helps, anxiety, and other behavior problems (Kotrla, p.185). The victims who are trafficked should get the care they need. Another film I watch Tricked showed a victim going through emotional problems to get over the fact she was trafficked. Her story showed the difficulties she was having to become normal
