What can be done to make the experience of the victim better in the criminal justice system? If you were in charge what specific things would you want to see done and why? What do we do right and what can we improve upon? What are some alternative directions for the future? Go into as much detail as possible and explain why these are the most significant changes that can help. Make sure you discuss any relevant aspects of the criminal justice system (police, courts, and/or corrections). Also include any of these issues in your discussion where important: civil rights for victims, civil suits, compensation and restitution, court appearances and victim impact statements.
You may use other resources (although you do not need to). However, do NOT use “pre-prepared Victimology papers” or “websites about Victimology” from any source as the content of your submission or as a “model” for your submission. Papers that follow the “flow” of online victimology papers will NOT meet paper requirements or the assignment rubric for this paper.
The bulk of your paper should address this part of the instruction prompt: If you were in charge what specific things would you want to see done and why? What do we do right and what can we improve upon? What are some alternative directions for the future? What can be done to make the experience of the victim better in the criminal justice system? As you answer what you would do, support your answers with paraphrased information regarding what is already being done in the system for victims (police, courts, and/or corrections, civil rights for victims, civil suits, compensation and restitution, court appearances and victim impact statements).
