All source material must be referenced (paraphrased and quoted material must have accompanying citations). Conduct research using the online library databases to address the following questions:
1. What are the rights guaranteed to victims?
2. Imagine you are a victim of a crime. What would/should you do if your rights are violated?
3. What are the rights and laws involved in domestic violence cases? Are restraining orders and mandatory arrests enough to help a victim?
