According to the National Center for Victims of Crime (2012), a victim impact statement, now allowed in all 50 states, provides victims with a way to explain how a crime has impacted their lives. This information can then be used by a judge “to help determine an offender’s sentence” or by a parole board to determine parole. In this Discussion, you will locate and analyze a victim impact statement.
To prepare:
Search the Internet and locate a victim impact statement (video or written).
Reflect on the background and relevant facts of the case for which the statement was prepared.
In a minimum of 300 words, briefly describe the background of the case, including:
Criminals involved
Victims involved
Crime committed
Apparent impacts
Other relevant information to provide context
Summarize the main points made by the victim in his or her statement. If you were the judge in this case, how would this victim impact statement influence your sentencing? Finally, discuss whether you think victim impact statements are a necessary part of a criminal case. Be sure to provide a link to the video or site in your initial post.
