Corrections officials include jail and prison wardens and guards, parole boards, and probation and parole officers. Accordingly, crime victims seek the cooperation of these professionals but often find themselves in conflict with them. Identify and discuss two of the issues over which crime victims and corrections personnel are most likely to have conflict
What will be an ideal response?
Two areas victims find themselves in conflict with corrections is safety and financial redress. First, victims want protection from further harm by an offender out on parole. Second, victims want to receive the financial compensation stipulated during sentencing. These goals are shared by correctional workers, but often the workers labor under overwhelming caseloads. This prevents enforcement of many parole requirements, including those that directly impact victims.
