What do you suppose are the factors that contribute to people's fear of crime? Why do you think that certain types of people are more likely to become crime victims than others are? Do you think that the fact that people have the right to appeal, after they have lost a case, has anything to do with victims being afraid of crimes being repeated? Explain.
What will be an ideal response?
