Human behavior changes throughout an individual’s life. It begins when they are born and I strongly believe that it ends when they die. I believe this to be true because no matter how old someone is, they will always be encountering change in their life. This change can occur because something the person did or even an outside force. Either way change happens, both good and bad. No matter what type of change it is, people want other people around when it happens. For good, it is to enjoy it with others and with bad, it is to recover and move past it.

To elaborate, the National Crime Victimization Survey (NCVS) “collects information on crimes suffered by individuals and households, whether or not those crimes were reported to law enforcement” (Crime in the United States, p 2). Even though this organization is not one of the front runners such as the courts or law enforcement itself, it is still linked to the justice system. The Justice System’s goal is to protect victims, however, when information is reported about them without their consent it is seen as an invasion of privacy and goes against the victims’ natural rights.

I agree with her statement that the title entails that it provides justice for the criminal rather than for the victim and in some cases this statement may actually be true, but that is far from the intent of the Criminal Justice System, it is there to help and that is why everyone is innocent until proven guilty. There was also a recurring instance that the parents of victims kept discussing and that was that they were not told in a delicate manner about the murder of their child. One man said that he had to go through “many phone transfers and [was] told blatantly by the head of police that [his] daughter [had] been murdered” (PublicResourceOrg…Notice, 2008). From the truth spoken by the victims, changes are have been made to help better the Criminal Justice System so it can protect victims and their
