Discussion 1: Consequences of Victimization
Please read all Module 3 material before completing this discussion post. The Pulse shooting was briefly discussed in the PowerPoint in terms of the enormous costs to victims and society. For this discussion post, please research a major criminal event of your choice (not Pulse), provide a quick overview, and discuss the consequences of the victimization in terms of the key areas addressed in chapter 3. You should 1) consider physical, emotional, and economic consequences and 2) include facts and/or estimates found through research. Make sure that you cite your sources. Please focus on an event that has specific information about the consequences. The initial post should be completed by Friday, January 28, 2022.
As part of your grade, please find two peers that discussed a different event than you to respond to. This will allow you to learn about the consequences of multiple criminal events. For tips on how to respond in a meaningful way, please see the syllabus. This part of the discussion post is due by midnight on Sunday, January 30, 2022.
