This paper will consist of three sections, and you will label each section. Section I will describe a
female crime victim; Section II will be devoted to the application of two different theories of
victimization (See Ch. 2); Section III will be devoted to applying terms and concepts discussed
below. Use a heading for each section.
Section I: The Offended/Victim: (worth 40 points)
You will choose a female who has been victimized by a crime, either in the US or elsewhere,
during any period of time, and describe her. What is her name? Describe the crime in which she
was victimized. What happened? This section should include two paragraphs. One paragraph
will include the biographical information about her, and the other will include information
about the crime. Also, include a photo of her.
This section is worth a total of 40 points. The material you present is worth 35 points, and the
photo is worth 5 points. You do not need to cite the photo, but you do need to cite all other
material you present in this section. You can find information about crime victims from many
valid sources- do not use Wikipedia for the information, but you can use it as a starting point to
find other valid sources in the references in Wikipedia. You might Google something like
famous female crime victims, or something like that, and go from there. Be sure your sources
are academic and peer reviewed. Ask me if you have questions about this.
Section II: Theories of Victimization: (worth 30 points).
Theory I: Apply Mendelsohns Categories of Victims to your victim. In your application, state the
category she would belong to, and explain why.
Theory II: Based on the experiences of the offended female and the nature of the crime, discuss
how another theory of victimization might be applied to your females crime. You should
choose among the theories below:
Routine Activities Theory
Lifestyle Theory
Just World Hypothesis
You need to clearly state the name of the theory you are using. Describe the theory, and how it
applies to the crime and the victims circumstances. Properly cite all information you present in
ASA format. Ch. 2 will be helpful here.
Section III: Concepts and Terms: (worth 30 points).
In this section, you should apply three terms to the crime you are discussing in this paper.
Define each term or concept (cite the definition- worth 5 points) and explain how each term or paper will consist of three sections, and you will label each section. Section I will describe a
female crime victim; Section II will be devoted to the application of two different theories of
victimization (See Ch. 2); Section III will be devoted to applying terms and concepts discussed
below. Use a heading for each section.
