    Direct Victim Case Study

    Direct Victim: The direct victim in the case study is a factory manager who explains that he was shocked and horrified by the mess and damage from the crime. His financial losses were not only the cost of the damages, but also the loss of making money the entire day as the day was spent cleaning up the mess (Crosland, P., & Liebmann, M. 2003). Although the financial needs of the direct victim were not met because the offenders were young children and could not repay it; according to the victim motives for participation in our textbook, the victim’s emotional needs seem to have been met. Some of the needs that were met are holding the offender accountable (the offender took full responsibility for his part in the crime), learning…

    The offender, Simon Gittany, was born in the Western Sydney suburb of Merrylands in 1973. Gittany has five siblings, all of which were raised in Australia after his parents emigrated from Lebanon. Although large, there is no evidence to suggest that it was an abusive or neglectful household. Rather, psychologist Anna Robilliard describes the family as being “loving” and “close knit” (R v.

    Pruckmayr Assignment

    Pruckmayr Assignment The case of Leo Wright and the murder of Bettina Pruckmayr was extremely tragic. There were so many mistakes made, from his time in the Lorton facility, to the lack of communication and time spent on his case, his arrests and his time on parole. The first red flag that I saw and felt the most frustrated about, was not only Wright’s lack of ability to show up for his monthly meetings, but the fact that his own parole officer seemed unable to attend many of these meetings as well. The lack of communication and time spent with Wright clearly kept Wright from seeing his drug addiction was back in full swing.…
