After reading and viewing, create a four to five-page paper addressing the questions below:
Discuss the variety of victim responses to crime: what did they say, do and feel? How would they be categorized?
Were there any reactions that were consistent across more than one story? What, if anything, about the reactions surprised you?
How did those around the victims (such as family, friends, co-workers, criminal justice system personnel) respond to the victim?
What can other people do that the victims in the videos/readings might find helpful? Was there anything that other people did that the victims did not find helpful?
What kind of assistance or resources should these victims be provided with? For what purpose? Are there any specific services that may be needed based on the type of crime or the victim's culture?
