Three Key Roles and Responsibilities Regarding Victims
Potential Consequences to Victims of Not Meeting These
Responsibilities
Law Enforcement
In cases that involve injuries, they can provide emergency services and provide aid to the victim until emergency services arrive.
Secures the victim's property if their safety is in jeopardy due to the result of the crime, or if the property needs to be collected and used as evidence.
Contact the victim by either telephone or in person within 24 to 48 hours after the incident to see if assistance has been received, or if they still need help in getting those resources. (
Dynamics of the Criminal Justice System
)
If a victim is injured while law enforcement is present, and they
don’t render aid until emergency services come there is a possibility the victim could die. Also, if law enforcement doesn’t follow up with the victim within the time frame there is
a possibility the victim could fall victim to another crime or something else might have happened during that time. It is also
important that survivors of crime know what resources are available to them so law enforcement must follow up quickly to ensure they have that information as soon as possible. Prosecution
Provides contact information for victim services that victims can connect with as well as providing appropriate notification services to victims. (In MN for example the notification service program is called Minnesota Haven.) (
Office of Justice Programs
)
Provide notification of case status at critical stages of the criminal justice system.
Ensure that victim impact information is included, such
as written statements, and audio or video statements, into court proceedings. (
Dynamics of the Criminal Justice System
)
The prosecution must keep the victim up to date on relevant court dates and information for both closure and safety purposes of the victim. It is also important that the prosecution
includes all relevant victim impact information as many times this is the only time during the criminal justice process that the victims’ voice is typically heard. (Unless they were also a witness, in the case of a trial.) Defense
Defend victims who are being prosecuted for their actions (ex: self-defense, survivors of abuse who “take matters into their own hands”, etc.)
Respect the victim's legal and constitutional rights and do not challenge them just to harass the victim.
Fully participating in restorative justice programs that make attempts to bring victims and offenders together voluntarily in ways that could potentially benefit both In some cases, the attacker and the victim are the same person (such as in cases of domestic violence victims retaliating against their abuser) In cases like these it is important to make sure the victim/defendant is getting their due process and being treated fairly and with respect.

parties and contribute to other issues like crime reduction.

Judiciary
Provides contact information for assistance and protection from the court that victims can access 24/7.
Provide victims with courtroom accommodations to ensure they are safe and separated from both the offender and their family members.
Meeting with prosecutors to see if they have spoken with the victim before offering any plea deals, to ensure the victim agreed and understood the terms of the deal.
(
Dynamics of the Criminal Justice System
)
It is important that victims feel safe and protected if it is not ensured that they will be separated from the offender and their family It could cause further trauma to the victim and they could potentially be revictimized (by being harassed or attacked either verbally or physically) by either the offender or from someone in their family. It is also important that if a plea deal is reached the victim knows about the deal and agrees to it. If a deal is offered without the victims' knowledge they might feel as though they are being silenced all over again. They might also feel confused and like they’re being kept out of
the loop. Probation
Contact victims as part of the pre-sentence investigation (PSI) to assess the psychological, financial,
and physical impact that the crime had on them and their families.
Include any victim impact statement information in the
official PSI report that’s submitted to the court.
Determine specific conditions of probation to ensure the victim’s safety. (
Dynamics of the Criminal Justice System
) Probation must report any victim concerns in the offenders' PSI
report because if they fail to neglect any safety concerns or requests for protection orders there is a possibility the offender might retaliate once they are released. Institutional Corrections
Notify victims of the offender's status, including current location, classification status, possible release date, escape, or death, when requested by the victim.
Make sure that inmates receive programming that is in line with court orders and is relevant to victims. (Ex: sex offender treatment, alcohol and/or drug counseling, anger management, etc.)
Obtain relevant victim information, such as victim impact statements, and protection orders, from court documentation so it can be included in the offender's file.
Correctional facilities must inform victims regarding the status of the inmate/offender so the victim can prepare for any potential trials and take any needed precautions to make sure protection orders are being honored or set in place if requested. If an inmate is not notified of an offender's release status, for example, they might not have the time they need to set up protection orders or do what they feel is best to keep them safe and away from their attacker.

Parole Agencies
Speak with victims to see if they have any concerns regarding their safety and security if the offender/inmate is granted parole and include any reasonable concerns into parole conditions.
Participate in multi-disciplinary efforts with other organizations and departments that work with the criminal justice system to ensure a smooth delivery of rights and services to crime victims.
Provide information and referrals to victims who require assistance.
(
Dynamics of the Criminal Justice System
)
It is important that parole agencies ask victims about certain behaviors when deciding whether to grant parole. If the offender is violent or likely to re-offend, then the chance of them getting parole would be slim to none to protect the victim. If parole does not check in with victims about their concerns and get their input on whether the inmate should be considered for parole, not only might the victim feel silenced again there is also a chance their attacker might retaliate, and they would not have had the time needed to take safety precautions.

Question 1The accounting information systems designed and installed in organizations are exposed not only to risks that emanate from users such as fraud, terrorisms, theft and other intentional acts for which control measures must be installed to check and minimize these risks, but also risks that emanate from natural disasters such as widespread flood, earthquake, fire, hurricanes, pandemic outbreak etc. which in most cases are uncontrollable or prevented. In this regard, organizations must have a disaster recovery plan (contingency plan) in place so that the full impact of a naturally occurring disaster can be absorbed to ensure business continuity.Discuss the contingency plans that must be in place before, during and after the outbreak of COVID-19 so that businesses can fully absorbed the pandemic to ensure business continuity.

Preventing Cybercrime and Identity Theft
Cybercrime and identity theft have become a growing problem in all aspects of society in recent years. Locate an article about cybercrime or identity theft in an organization from one of the types we have discussed in the course (government, not-for-profit organization, healthcare organization, or college or university). Summarize the case of cybercrime or identity theft in your article. What are the risks of these types of crimes to their organization? How can auditing and internal controls help prevent a company from falling prey to cybercrime?
Then, review the examples shared by your peers. What strategies related to auditing and internal controls could you suggest for the organizations they shared?
