A Holistic Response to Crime Victimization

This weeks required readings discuss how multifaceted victimization is and the role of a social support system in assisting a victim to work through victimization. There are many techniques that can be used to respond to crime victimization, such as using innovative advancements in technology or grassroots activism and action.

Address the following in your initial post:

• What three methods do you propose will provide a holistic response to crime victimization? Explain.
• In your response, critique the criminal justice systems response to victimization and propose a holistic plan for providing victims with restitution.
• In your opinion, what will it take in order for victims to be made whole again? Explain.

Your initial post must contain approximately 400 words and reference at least two scholarly sources in proper APA format.

Guided Response: Please respond to at least two of your colleagues initial posts. In the same way that your initial posts should be substantive, response posts to your colleagues should also be meaningful and advance the discussion of the issues, ideas, and questions that were raised in the initial posts. While you can be supportive of your peers by saying, “I agree” “Wow, I never thought of that,” these same statements alone are not sufficient. Continue to monitor the discussion forum until 5:00 p.m. (Mountain Time) on Day 7 of the week, and respond with robust dialogue to anyone who replies to your initial post.
