Imagine that you are on a domestic violence case. The victim is reluctant to talk about the case to most people, and you are worried that she may not get justice if she doesn't give you information. You think about telling her about the incidences of violence against women, including rape, assault, robbery, and homicide. What can you tell her about these things? You also want to encourage her to be open about her case and seek justice. How can you be encouraging but firm about the importance of this? Why would it be in her best interest to be forthcoming? Explain.
