Walden University Wk 1 Why Do Victims Not Report Disscussion Questions

 

I’m working on a law discussion question and need an explanation to help me learn.

1) Some believe that crime victims are responsible for their victimization. What theories or examples can you provide to either support or refute this statement? Why are some people more fearful of crime than others? Do you believe that the media promotes fear?


2) Why do you think only some violent crimes are reported to police? What factors determine whether or not a crime is reported? What are the benefits to victims or/and law enforcement from reporting of crimes?
