specific individuals. How/why did this practice arise? What was significant about the individuals for whom legislation
ANSWER:
In early societies, harm was redressed through direct payment schemes. After the
American Revolution, the sense of community changed, and with that, victims lost control
over how the harm they experienced would be resolved. The punishment of offenders
became the obligation of the local government through judicial proceedings. Instead of
restoring the victim through redressing the harm, the crime was now a crime against the
state. Recovery of damages was not as important as the symbolic gesture of establishing
social order through punishment of the offender. Obligations of the victim have dwindled
down to filing a complaint to initiate the investigation and testifying as a witness for the
prosecution in the state’s case.

47. Discuss the rediscovery of crime victims during the 1950s and early 1960s. Be sure to include a discussion on the
impact of the various social movements of the time period.
ANSWER:
The rediscovery of crime victims was initiated through the work of social movements. The
focus of the movements was to increase victims’ rights, services, and programs. The
women’s movement worked diligently to increase awareness of rape and domestic
violence, crimes that impact women disproportionately compared to men. The result of
their hard work was the creation of rape crisis centers, battered women shelters, and
ultimately policy changes—such as recognizing domestic violence as a violent crime. The
law-and-order movement increased awareness of violence and theft as crime rates were
increasing during this time period of the 1960s. The main focus was on increased
punishment and more social control over deviant behavior. Finally, activists of the civil
rights movement centered their energy on the disparity in the representation of people of
color throughout the criminal justice process. In addition, they focused their attention on
threats of racial violence, such as lynch mobs.

was named? Provide examples.
ANSWER:
Salient issues raise public awareness, and public officials have long used this approach to
address other social issues. Starting in the 1980s, people running for office realized
application of this approach might help their election or re-election if they applied it to
their “get tough on crime” stance. A known example of this is through the Brady Handgun
Violence Prevention Act, named after James Brady, President Reagan’s press secretary,
who was shot in the head during an attempt to assassinate the President. The law required
a background check on any person seeking to buy a firearm. Though the act of selling a
handgun to persons who were deemed dangerous had been illegal since 1968, this new law
was seen as being tougher on crime. Other victims, such as Jeanne Clery, Emmett Till,
Matthew Shepard, James Byrd, Jr., and Adam Walsh all suffered heinous crimes and had
legislation named after them. Thousands of laws have been enacted in the name of a
victim, but the response to this approach has been mixed. Some believe it is a great avenue
to bring attention to a serious crime and to mobilize the public around it. Others argue it is
another means for politicians to exploit the media for their own personal gain.

49. Outline and discuss the role of the news media concerning the victim’s plight. Provide both negative and positive
aspects.
ANSWER:
The role of the media regarding victims can have mixed outcomes. The harm done to the
victims and their families has been brought to the public’s attention after years of neglect
by the media. In addition, how the criminal justice process treats victims and how the case
was resolved have been important observations made available to the public via the media.
However, victims have complained about the media sensationalizing the crime to increase
viewership. Victim complaints have also centered around the media intrusion into their
privacy. Media coverage tends to be drawn toward crimes serving as “attention grabbers”
as opposed to the more common or harmful crimes. Crimes wherein a stranger was the
offender or crimes that were particularly violent receive publicity, whereas these types of
crimes are least likely to happen to members of society.

50. Discuss some findings of research into the “bystander effect,” including how the presence of bystanders can affect
criminal behavior differentially; how bystander intervention is perceived by victims; how bystander interventions can
differentially affect victims; and how bystander intervention interacts with the relative number of bystanders.
ANSWER:
In some cases, the presence of witnesses can dissuade offenders, whereas in other cases,
having an audience can encourage offenders to escalate their conflicts, as with gang
members defending their street reputations. When researchers surveyed crime victims, half
of them responded that just the presence of onlookers neither helped nor hurt the situation.
However, when bystanders actively intervened in the crime, these same respondents
judged the interventions as helpful more often than harmful. Onlookers whose getting
involved prevents further injury and/or recovers stolen property play a constructive role,
whereas those whose intervention escalates the attack play a counterproductive role. Social
psychologists have found that in the “bystander effect” phenomenon, there is an inverse
correlation between the number of bystanders and both the likelihood and the timeliness of
intervention. In other words, the more bystanders there are present, the less likely and less
quickly any of them will intervene. Moreover, those bystanders whom victims beg directly
for help are more likely to intervene.
