Impacts on Victims

When you are a victim of crime that never just goes away. That is something that you a carry with you for the rest of your live. When a crime is first done to you you may feel confused and angry. When you talk to people about it like the cops you are forced to re live that terrible day, and those awful  moments from when it happened. In the law and order episode when Harper was talking to Benson she felt very scared and hurt. Because she had to re live every moment of that night. a little later she felt very annoyed with the police because they accused her of making it all up, because she had smoked weed that same night. A few months had passed and the man who did this to her still wasn't found and arrested. She eventually moved on and moved away. She changed her hair, her look and her personality completely. She used to be a easy going, colorful person but after it happened she locked herself away. Away from the pain. She now was a bland, clean cut lady. With dead bolts on her door.
I think that all the families that were there or had a child at the field when this happen would be extremely traumatized. They were just at a little league game watching their kids play. This is a very unexpected thing. There shouldn't be dangers at a game like this. I think that this would have ruined the game for some of the families, they would now see soft ball and think of a car ramming the field. Some may never play again because they are either too scared or the families are too worried about them being hurt.

Are Schools Safe?

I think that depending on what school you go to and who you are plays a roll in how safe or how unsafe a school can be. Although it sounds sad and unfair. The smaller younger kids are more likely to get pushed around and picked on. I think that overall schools are safe here in Canada. Most schools are made very well aware of bullying and they try to keep an eye out for it. Compared to schools in the united states with all the shootings schools here are deemed to be safer.  Bullying is one of the main reasons a school is unsafe. because kids are mean they can bully and make others feel useless. There are teachers who can help you when you need it. for young people being at school can be a good thing, they are in a semi controlled environment for 8 hours each day. It is better then them walking around or doing who knows what in an unsafe place. Although not all schools are as good and as welcoming as they could be they are a good place to be to help prepare yourself for the future.

Why do people commit crimes?

Some commit a crime such as shoplifting out of desperation, especially when food is concerned. My theory on why people commit crimes is to fit in. Teenagers commit crimes to feel accepted into a group or gang. Same thing goes for adults. Sometimes gangs use crimes as a way to join a gang. If someone wanted to join the gang people who are part of the gang could  say that they have to go steal something from a certain place in order to be accepted into the gang. But people try to join these gangs or commit other crimes because they feel it is what they need to live. whether its because there are voices in your head telling you to do it or  there are real people telling you. The link below is an article about people who were used as slaves and then forced to commit a crime, and then got charged  for the crime even tho they did not have a choice.  Slavery victims being jailed for crimes they were forced to commit
