Criminology
Begin by reading the attached articles titled "Prior Abuse Reported by Inmates and Probationers"and "Victim Responses to Sexual Assault: Counterintuitive or Simply Adaptive?" Also be sure to review the PowerPoint notes on the topic of feminist criminological thought.
For the written portion of this assignment, discuss how experiencing a sexual assault might increase a victim's/survivor's likelihood of committing crimes (particularly drug offenses) in the future.
How might widespread acceptance of common rape myths (discussed in "Victim Responses to Sexual Assault: Counterintuitive or Simply Adaptive?") play a role in shaping how survivors cope with their experiences?
Be sure to provide at least one direct reference to (i.e., direct quote from) each of the two articles to support your argument and/or illustrate your key points.
