Instructions
One of many issues in this unit is child abuse. We say we want to protect our children; however, we continue to fail them at times. Reflect on the readings and the effects of child abuse. Recall news stories that have reported abuse within your own community. Write a reflection paper that addresses the following questions.
- What are your thoughts on whether you could ever cure a pedophile?
- Does this mean that we should lock the child molesters and pedophiles up forever?
- Should convicted child molesters and pedophiles be required to inform all social partners of their crimes?
- What kind of lasting effects do you think this victimization would have on the child?
- In your opinion, how can victim impact statements affect the offender's sentencing?
Your paper must be at least three pages in length. There are no references required for this assignment. However, if outside sources are used, please adhere to APA Style when creating citations and references for this assignment. APA formatting, however, is not necessary.
