46. Outline and explain the three key goals victims can pursue through the criminal justice system.
ANSWER:
Victims may have the goal that violent offenders should be punished severely. The second
goal would be to use the criminal justice process to address the offender’s needs for
rehabilitation. Finally, the victim may be seeking financial redress of the crime and utilize
the criminal justice process to obtain it.

47. Discuss some reasons that a victim might choose not to report a crime to the police. Include a discussion of the
victim’s role as a facilitator, precipitator, or provocateur.
ANSWER:
The police department may not have the trust of local residents. Victims may be either
recent immigrants or wanted by the police themselves, both causing a decision not to
report the police for the fear of the attention it will bring to them. There may be language
or cultural barriers. As with most crimes, if there is a relationship between the offender
and victim, the crime might not be reported, either to keep the matter “a private affair,” or
it was dealt with in an informal manner, or so the offender won’t get into legal trouble.
Victim advocacy groups have argued that the lack of reporting is an indicator of the
reduction in people’s faith in the criminal justice process to resolve the problem.

48. When people fill out a complaint in a police station, they want officers to accept without question their versions of
what transpired. Define and discuss the processes of unfounding and defounding. In what ways do these processes impact
the numbers of serious crimes recorded by police departments?
ANSWER:
Unfounding is the result of the police process where the victim’s claim is rejected either
because the officer does not believe the victim, or the case is essentially unprovable in a
court of law. Defounding concerns those cases where the officer believes the crime took
place but is not to the level of seriousness noted by the victim. In these types of cases, the
crime may be reclassified to a lesser charge. Statistically speaking, this reduces the number
of serious crimes tabulated by the police department. This can be questioned if the
tabulated reduction coincides with recent pressures to reduce violent crime from political
or other social forces.

49. Explain the different ways in which “clearance rates” can be interpreted.
ANSWER:
The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI)’s Uniform Crime Reporting (UCR) program
defines clearing crimes as making arrests. The FBI guidelines for tabulation state that once
an offender is turned over to the prosecutor, the crime has been cleared by police. The
UCR program counts the number of reported offenses that have been closed rather than the
number of suspects charged with those crimes. For example, several crimes may be
cleared by the arrest of one person, or just one crime may be closed by the arrests of
several accomplices. Even if the only suspect arrested is not convicted, the police still
consider the crime to be solved. Also, prosecutors may drop charges; judges may dismiss
charges; attorney negotiations can lead to plea deals to plead guilty to lesser charges; and
if the defendant is found not guilty in a trial, usually the case is not reopened. Therefore, as

50. In what ways can the police better serve the best interest of crime victims?
ANSWER:
Police could focus on responding more quickly to crimes. Quick response times can help
the victims through preventing the commission of the crime, catching the offender,
increasing the chances of recovering stolen property, being able to get the evidence while
it is “fresh,” and locating witnesses. Police need to communicate more effectively with
victims. This would include appearing to be concerned, connected, and involved with what
happened to the victim. Police need to be sensitive to the impact a crime has upon an
individual and not create a secondary victimization by acting callously or indifferently.
Some of these problems can be resolved through addressing the concerns of burnout, as
well as the norms of the police subculture that drive the emphasis on being tough,
suspicious of civilians, and cynicism.
