Scholarly Activity
For this activity, you are required to submit a minimum three-page paper that uses at least two credible sources (other than your textbook). All source material must be referenced (paraphrased and quoted material must have accompanying citations). Conduct research using the online library databases to address the following questions:
1. What are the rights guaranteed to victims?
2. Imagine you are a victim of a crime. What would/should you do if your rights are violated?
3. What are the rights and laws involved in domestic violence cases? Are restraining orders and mandatory arrests enough to help a victim?
4. What kinds of victim’s rights, compensation programs, and prevention programs for victims of domestic violence exist in your state? Are there any national programs? How do these help the victim?
