1. Identify, Define, and Describe the Problem
2. Measure the True Dimensions of the Problem
3. Investigate How Victims Are Handled
4. Gather Evidence to Test Hypotheses
Using these steps, and the information that you have read in the texts, you are to research and write a thorough case study on one of the criminals/cases learned about in class. Use the theories and ideas in victimology to identify and explain their actions, as well as the criminal justice process and prosecution, the victims and their families, etc.
