What will be an ideal response?
The funnel metaphor describes how the levels at which we understand the prevalence of VMIR. The funnel aspect shows how as we move down the numbers we have become smaller. Look for them to talk about the different levels. Level I—a total of number of VMIR in society and impossible to know. Level II—reported cases to official agents of social control. Level III are substantiated cases. Level IV are cases where intervention of some kind occurs. Levels V and VI are the cases that move through the criminal justice system. Make sure they talk about how these numbers get smaller as they move through formal systems, thus creating a funnel.
