Interactions between a Child Victim and Criminal Justice Professionals When working with a victim who is a child, there are necessary steps to take to make the child feel as comfortable with you as possible while receiving the necessary evidence and information needed for court and prosecution purposes. When working with child victims, you should: ● Speak to them in a calm, low tone to ensure that they are not frightened or feel as if they are being scolded for the situation they were put in. ● Speak clearly and not in complex words beyond their understanding ● Provide them with the feeling of security and ensure that they are safe.

Experience of a Child Victim When a child victim is stuck in a court case, they may be fearful and not quite understand what is taking place during this time. Provide the child with reassurance and remind them that they are safe and that explain the steps of the court proceeding to the best of your ability with the comprehension age of the child. This experience for them is one of the worst times in their life and can be very hard mentally on a victim child. Provide the child and their guardian with necessary resources to ensure that the child is receiving the proper treatment in regard to physical and mental health. As an allied professional, it is your job to ensure that the child is protected and understands the process while providing them with a sense of stabiltity.

Interactions between a Domestic Violence Victim and Criminal Justice Professionals When working with a victim of domestic violence, you as a professional should be able to ask question and provide necessary information to the victim in the calmest, most sincere manner. As a professional, you should: ● Use a calm, sympathetic manner when speaking to the victim to ensure you do not frighten or trigger them in any way ● Provide necessary information such as resources and steps of the criminal process ● Ensure that they are safe now and that they will not be hurt again by the perpetrator.

Experience of a Domestic Violence Victim When a domestic violence victim is working through the court system, they may be fearful and unsure of what to do. As an allied professional, it is your job to ensure that the victim has knowledge of the events that are going to take place during the court proceedings and ensure that the victim is safe during the process. As a domestic violence victim, the fear of retaliation or that they are going to be harmed again by the perpetrator is greater during this time. Provide sympathy and reassurance that taking these steps through the court process prevent from the perpetrator from harming the victim again. Provide necessary resources for the victim and ensure that they are receiving the proper help and treatments so this event does not physically or mentally affect the victim as much as possible.

Similarities and Differences in Criminal Justice Professionals’ Roles There are very many things that are similar and different in these scenarios: Similarities ● When dealing with victims, you have to provide a sincere calm manner as their state of mind is fragile from the event. ● You need to provide resources to these victims to allow them to get the proper help during this time ● You should make them aware of the steps the court proceedings take and what they may be asked of. Differences: ● When working with a victim that is a child, they may less cooperative during this period due to the mental effect the event has on them and may take longer to give out information for the fear of being scolded or their safety ● When working with domestic violence victims, they may have more mental health issues regarding this situation due to the mental abuse they endured over a period of time from the perpetrator. You must provide reassurance constantly that they are no longer going to be harmed from this point. ● When working with child victims, providing a support system may allow them the necessary help to continue on through the court process. Ensure that the child is well supported.

Similarities and Differences in Victims’ Experiences When working with victims, both children and domestic violence, there may be similarities and differences on how the victim may act during this time. Similarities ● Both may experience erratic and depressive episodes and have a change in behavior ● Both may be hesitant to move forward during the court process out of fear of being harmed by the perpetrator again ● Both can be provided with resources and information to help them during this time ● Both may have been affected during this event by a loved one. Differences: ● Child victims are more likely to experience a different persona after the event. ● Domestic violence victims are more likely to be suffering from mental illness due to the perpetrator affecting them ● Child victims are less likely to be present during court proceedings for their safety ● Domestic violence victims are more likely to struggle during court proceedings with mental health and emotions

Conclusion When working with victims, it is within your profession to help provide information and a sense of security as much as you possibly can. During this process, your job is to ensure that the victim is aware that they are safe during this time. The victim should be your main focus during the court process and you should advocate for them during this time.
