INTRODUCTION
The fundamental purpose of a justice system is to enhance the
experience of victims of crime in the criminal justice process in
a case proceeding. The Law Commission emphasizes victims
and survivors have a remarkable observation on their
requirements described by their exploitation, their sexual
orientation, association with the guilty party, and their very
own attributes. Victims are not a homogeneous gathering, and
they do not talk with one voice in distinguishing needs and
methodologies. The duty regarding tending to the requirements
of these victims lay inside the criminal equity framework which
is shared by the elected and regional governments. The

2. government is in charge of establishing the criminal law, which
is set out in the Criminal Code and applies throughout the
country. Comment by Rachell: This would require a citation.

LITERATURE REVIEW
VICTIMS
Most victims now are advantaged from various defensive
measures inside the criminal equity process. For instance, the
way toward giving a testimony has been made less demanding.
Additionally, the victim’s security is considered in bail
decisions, and victims are permitted to submit casualty
proclamations at the season of sentencing. Recent research
affirms that victims are to a great extent ignorant of or
disappointed with the criminal justice methods. The preferred
treatment for this is to be actualized by incorporating police
offices with victim education of their rights at the area of the
crime. Courts are keeping up the correspondence with victims to
advise them of updates about the situation. Furthermore, there
are different measures that consider the victim's needs in the
criminal process, giving those better data about this procedure,
and sharpening the judiciary about the requirements of victims
(National Centre for victims of crime, 2017). Comment by
Rachell: And what exactly does this mean??
Writing Tip: Ensure that you write clearly, concisely, and in
such a manner that you can reach a broad audience (e.g., don’t
write to “sound smart”, write to reach and share). Comment by
Rachell: What?? Comment by Rachell: This should be a red
flag to include citations. Comment by Rachell: Again. I fear
that sometimes students strive too hard to write “smart” and end
up with sentences that really are not clear. So think about what
you’re trying to say, and ask yourself, is it clearly conveyed?
Would everyone in my “department/organization/etc.” be able to
understand this? Consider working with the writing center to

3. improve clarity throughout. I won’t point out much anymore.
If the victims are to have a sufficiently fulfilling part in
the criminal equity system, there should be approachable and
procedural statutes set up at the state and government levels.
After which these approaches are altogether made legitimate to
take after and uphold these laws if casualties are feeling
vindicated. More grounded implementation of current policies,
consolation to be required with victims' help associations,
permitting the victim a voice in the sentencing procedure by
making the voice laws that give casualties a privilege to make a
proclamation at sentencing hearings, broaden government
formal speech for all violent and sexual offenses and utilizing
remedial equity strategies for non-violent crime. Research is
fundamental keeping in mind that the end goal is to distinguish
what effects of wrongdoing persist until the intervention.
Besides, the victim-offender mediations enlighten the victims'
craving to end the binds to the wrongdoer through interpersonal
encounter and correspondence. However, they are denied that on
the court (US Government, 2017). Comment by Rachell: What
do you mean by this? Comment by Rachell: I’m not sure
what the intent is with this either, and it is very long.
Comment by Rachell: Hmm….this style of writing is not
quite appropriate for an APA/scientific style paper. You want to
avoid sensational and colloquialistic language. Comment by
Rachell: More importantly, I’m not sure you’ve seen the
required templates and fully read the rubric requirements. You
will need quite a bit of work on each section for the final
project to ensure you have covered each topic clearly/fully.
A literature review is a summary of many articles. I realize the
rubric only requires 6, but this is really not realistic, and would
only meet proficient criteria, at best. So to improve, you will
need to consider adding more sources and improving upon your
literature review and ensuring you cover all required aspects of
the literature review/rubric requirements (common concerns and

4. treatment summaries). Comment by Rachell: On the court?
VIOLENT OFFENDERS
The judiciary system ought to require the police to play out
specific obligations as a feature of the investigative procedure
in abusive domestic crimes, including talking with groups of
people independently, recording the complaint, documenting a
report, and exhorting the complainant of their rights. This
enactment ought to explicitly disallow the utilization of notices
to savage guilty parties as a part of the police or legal reaction
to abusive behavior at home. Notices do not advance wrongdoer
responsibility, and they impart a message that viciousness will
be endured. Violent offenses are serious ought to be extremely
managed by the criminal law (Parsons, 2013). There is no
offense of abusive behavior at home when all things are
considered; rather the criminal law reacts to it with various
diverse offenses, as well as the issue of how an arraignment for
abusive behavior at home is encouraged. Prosecutors within the
monist frameworks, where the State's constitution permits on a
basic level for the immediate fuse of worldwide standards into
residential law once the settlement has been approved. It ought
to be acquainted with the bargains sanctioned by their State.
Prosecutors from the dualist systems, which for the most part
require an unmistakable stride, regularly through the selection
of an enactment for worldwide commitments to be joined into
the legitimate local framework. This is acquainted with the
national enactment that fuses universal human rights (UNODC,
2014). Comment by Rachell: Again, your phrasing is a bit
odd, I’m not sure how to explain it, but it is not clear and
concise scientific/psychological style writing. Your word
choices are often very sensational (e.g., “savage” “extorting”
etc.) and not quite appropriate style (for this course at least).
Comment by Rachell: I am not quite sure what to
recommend Matthew. But overall, you have not fully met the
rubric requirements and summarized the treatment of each
population and related concerns.
NON-VIOLENT OFFENDERS

5. Lately, there's been a great deal of discussion on the need to
decrease sentences for the non-violent guilty parties, which is
remarkable. Nonetheless, the emphasis on the activities of the
individual clouds the way that illegal businesses fundamentally
and unavoidably include violence, paying little attention to the
intent of the members. The legalization, regulation, and control
of drugs diminish violence and imprisonment rate in the US.
Other than stopping to indict those now accused of drug
violations (at present 46% of those in government jail),
sanctioning would the likely outcome in less violent crime, for
example, theft and drug trafficking. A huge population of
nonviolent offenders is found in federal prisons (Irwin, 2016).
Government prosecutors pick which cases to take, and if no one
is pushing them to leave on the year-long investigation to bring
down bosses and their illegal tax avoidance financiers. Rather,
government prosecutors are compensated for winning
substantial quantities of cases. The least demanding approach to
winning cases is to seek after little time street pharmacists, who
still face overwhelming punishments yet can't bear the cost of
private lawyers. Subsequently, government prosecutors fill
elected detainment facilities with low-level guilty parties. These
prosecutors ought not to squander citizen dollars and filling the
jails to cushion their resumes with simple feelings (Fryklund,
2016). Comment by Rachell: This kind of phrase is not
needed and should be deleted. Comment by Rachell: What does
this have to do with treatment of non-violent offenders?
Comment by Rachell: Plagiarism without citations.
Comment by Rachell: I would delete this. It is kind of one
of those “of course” statements and does not add much to the
paper. Comment by Rachell: And what relevance is this to
the assignment? Comment by Rachell: Do not use
contractions in formal papers. Comment by Rachell: Again, this
really has nothing to do with the actual assignment.
CONCLUSION
Now and again, everybody becomes a victim of some
wrongdoing. This incorporates each day infractions, for

6. instance, being late for a meeting, relationship infringement, for
example, an additional conjugal undertaking, and criminal
offenses. Regardless of the crime, even the individuals who are
just somewhat harmed search for a solution to repair the harm
and accomplish a feeling of equity. One approach to help the
casualty feel that equity has been reestablished is an expression
of remorse given by the Cretan. When an offender apologizes
for violations, society likewise benefits because the group is
reestablished and reinforced. Furthermore, the transgressor
might be more averse to confer the wrong once more. Given
these vital impacts, expressions of remorse can profit the lawful
framework and its players. Comment by Rachell: Relevance
to assignment? Comment by Rachell: ??? Comment by Rachell:
?? what group? Comment by Rachell: What does this mean?

PSY 624 Milestone One Guidelines and Rubric: Draft of
Literature Review
For this initial milestone, you should focus on literature from
only the last five years regarding violent offenders, non-violent
offenders, and trauma victims. In
your research, focus on the legal system and how it interacts
with these target populations. An article that addresses all target
populations would be ideal, but it
may be difficult to find. Focus on the major treatment areas for
the target populations and how the treatments address the needs.
There is a lot to cover in these
topics, so finding articles that cover one or two populations or
areas will allow for a more comprehensive approach. Make sure
when you are developing your
literature review that you are familiar with APA formatting.
Learn How to Write a Review of Literature is a good place to
begin.
Prompt: Submit a draft of the literature review (Section I) for
your final project, including all critical elements as listed
below. In the literature review, you will
summarize forensic psychological treatment literature in the last
five years for each of the target populations (non-violent

8. offenders, violent offenders, and
trauma victims). Please make sure to use peer-reviewed and
academic sources for the literature review.
Specifically the following critical elements must be addressed:
I. Literature Review: Summarize forensic psychological
treatment literature from the last five years for each of the
target populations. What are the most
common psychological concerns among each population? Are
these concerns specific to populations within the legal system,
or do they share common
concerns with other populations? Which treatments have been
particularly effective in meeting the needs of each of the target
populations? Are there
treatments that have been effective in the general population
that might benefit the target populations, but are not admissible
or feasible given the
constraints of the legal system?
a) Non-violent offenders
b) Violent offenders
c) Trauma victims
