There is no such thing as an ‘ideal victim’! Critically discuss this statement with reference to victims’ experiences in the CJS

There is no such thing as an ‘ideal victim’! Critically discuss
this statement with reference to victims’ experiences in the CJS and what this
means for how the CJS responds to victims/victimisation.
In your response, you should:
•Refer to at least one specific case or example of victimisation from Australia.
•Consider the consequences for victims in relation to how they are
treated/responded to by members of the CJS, the media, and/or the broader
community. Are further reforms needed?

•Discuss key concepts and themes from the unit, such as the impact of
discretion, issues with ensuring accountability, and the challenges for
achieving ‘justice’ (including ambiguity about what this means/looks like) .
