Abstract
In this paper, the role of victim/victimizers in Doctorow's 'Ragtime' is apparent, as many of the characters in Ragtime struggle to establish or counteract social norms. The basis race and creed become the catalysts for bigotry and class stratification that allows the victim concept to be enacted. However, the sense of awareness and consciousness that Mother, Walker, Sarah, and others feel against the hypocritical Father become resistance. The basis of resistance lies on the ability of Doctorow's character to consciously change themselves by avoiding societal traditions and traps that limit their lives.
From the Paper
"In this literary study, the novel 'Ragtime' by E.L. Doctorow will be examined in relation to the theme of victims and victimization versus resistance. This novel relies more upon resistance to the historical trends found within Doctorow's "turn-of the century" American cultural and racial perspectives. Although many characters become victims and victimizers of the historical period in question, the greater reliance on Doctorow's literary approach reflects resistance to accepted societal norms. In essence, although arguments can certainly prove that the "victim roles" and "victimization" do abound in the way that characters interact within this novel, resistance provides a more conscious and verifiable way to understand change and intercultural relationships in Ragtime. The feelings of victimization in Ragtime are present within Doctorow's various stories through the institution of the American family."

From the Paper
"In a recently released report on teen victims of crime, the National Centre for Victims of Crime urged that the problems of juvenile victimization must be addressed to find solutions. ?The victimization of teenagers in America has gone largely unrecognized. Instead, in the context of crime and violence, our nation?s young people are more typically characterized as troublemakers, predators, and violent criminals. When victimization has been recognized, public attention has focused almost solely on large-scale incidents, such as school shootings. Furthermore, the victims of these tragic events represent only a fraction of the teens who become crime victims."

Abstract
In this article, the writer discusses the issues confronting the various entities involved in the criminal justice system, especially with regard to the culture of victims, both inside and outside of the penal system. The writer notes that it must be kept in mind that when discussing victims, the victims of a crime are not the only "victims" involved. The writer points out that additionally, witnesses who hold important information about the incident, falsely accused suspects who may be subject to racial or economic biases in the judicial system, and even convicted offenders who are abused and subjected to cruel behavior within the corrections system can be construed as victims. Finally, the writer concludes that the issues facing the legal system that concern "victims" are wide-ranging and broad in scope, and will require a significant level of attention both at a national and local level to sufficiently address and remedy.

From the Paper
"A problem with this analysis is the fact that some 911 calls are pranks, some are made by unharmed but bitter individuals who want to make trouble for spouses or roommates, and in some 911 calls the accusations that are voiced are exaggerated or even completely false. These faults with the nature of 911 calls are valid; additionally, some of the calls are made by persons whose testimony would not be considered ordinarily legally binding, such as people who are drunk or drug-influenced. Opponents of admitting 911 calls as evidence noted that they could impede the right to a fair trial, which includes the right to confront one's accuser (making them eligible to be cross-examined)."

This paper discusses the serious issue of sexual victimization and assault of females on college campuses. The paper lists the risk factors for victimization and what the college campuses are doing to try to combat the problem.

From the Paper
"In 2004, the U.S. Department of Education ruled that Georgetown University's policy of requiring a campus rape victim to sign a confidentiality agreement before receiving the outcome of any disciplinary action against a sexual perpetrator was illegal (Bhatia, 2004). This ruling is likely to help break the silence surrounding campus rape. "It will ensure that sexual-assault victims are able to talk to people they need to tell what happened to heal," said Daniel Carter, vice president of Security On Campus Inc., the nonprofit victim assistance group based in King Of Prussia, Pa., that filed the complaint against Georgetown last year. "And if they have grievances they are free to address those.""

Abstract
This paper examines how Joyce Carol Oates is known for writing about violence towards women. It looks at how the situations she writes about are everyday situations that women face all over the world all the time and how Oates is excellent in bringing out fear through these situations. In particular, it focuses on ?Where Are You Going, Where Have You Been??, ?Heat?, and ?The Molesters? as typical Oates?s stories where women are victimized by men.
From the Paper
"The villain in this story is Arnold Friend. Oates created a very frightening character here through his appearance and speech. Arnold wears dark sunglasses that do not let anyone see where his eyes are looking. This is quite creepy since he is probably staring her up and down, like a lion checking out his next meal. It is revealed that Arnold is not the young guy that he first claims to be, and is in fact around thirty years old, adding to his villainous nature. Another very disturbing part of Arnold is his friend that is waiting in the car the whole time Arnold is talking with Connie. This man ?wasn?t a kid either?he had?the face of a forty year old baby? (?Where?? 502). This adds to the fearful appearance of Arnold, since a forty year old man has no place there."

"In the United States of America there have been case studies performed in relation to the proper methods and practices to utilize in interviewing the child victim of sexual abuse. Studies performed in Israel have also addressed these issues. Countries such as the United States and Israel have been seeking the "best practice" in forensic interviews of children who are victims to sexual abuse. A FBI Enforcement Bulletin dated October 1, 1999 states that: "If investigators have followed basic investigative rules and present well-prepared cases at trial essentially, they have implemented the multidisciplinary method, even if their department has not formalized the approach." Primary practice in investigation in this "multidisciplinary method" are the conducting of well-planned interviews, elimination of tunnel vision, understanding probable cause and understanding that when someone is cleared from arrest that the case should be kept open. Specifics in this method are specialists or those trained performing interviews are optimal conditions and suggest that prosecutors and other member of the multidisciplinary team observe the interviews."

From the Paper
"Over the course of our country's history, society has had to deal with many very important social issues (abortion, religion, equal rights, etc.). One topic, however, remains an extremely prominent problem. Sexual abuse in this country, and in many others, has become so recurrent that it has affected hundreds of thousands of people, most notably children. The effects of sexual abuse on the victims are, by and large, everlasting, and very troublesome. Sexual abuse is quite the 'forbidden' topic, as it makes everyone uncomfortable, but this is precisely why it needs to be addressed and dealt with. Abusers are most commonly punished with jail time and some are required to attend therapy sessions, but some are not. This method of punishment and rehabilitation, fearfully, is not quite as successful as everyone tends to believe it is. Many sex offenders become repeat offenders more often than people would like to realize. Due to the fact that child sexual abuse is such a serious issue, and many children are affected for the rest of their lives, there needs to be much more improvement in the area of preventing this from happening, as well as helping the victims and treating the offenders so that they do not continue to hurt others in this way. The major question that needs to be reflected upon is can these people be helped, and if so, what are the more successful ways of doing this? If not, how can we better prevent such occurrences from happening? First, it needs to be discussed what sexual abuse is."

Abstract
This paper looks at the how Senate Judiciary Committee passed the victims? rights Constitutional amendment, which would give crime victims the right to be notified, present and heard at critical stages throughout their case. It examines how advocates for the amendment believe it encompasses four basic ideas: that all victims should be treated with the same dignity and given the same information as the accused criminal; how victims are notified when rapists or abusers are let out of jail or prison; how no one can profit from crime, and any monies should go to the victims and their families; and finally, how nationwide victims will be allowed to make victim impact statements before final sentencing. It also discusses how the amendment has encountered much opposition from nonprofit groups and prosecutors and judges who believe that granting victims the right to a speedy trial may put pressure on prosecution to try the case before it is ready.
From the Paper
"The amendment also denies defendants due process rights, due process rights protect the innocent from arrest and imprisonment. They do not exist to protect the guilty criminals from punishment. One basic due process right is the right to be afforded an impartial trial. However, when you have victims pleading to the jury to return a guilty verdict, you can easily see that someone innocent could easily be denied the due process of the law (aclu.org). The result of this miscarriage of justice is innocent people being wrongfully convicted for crimes they did not commit (Wallace)."

"Flat Broke With Children"--A Review, 2007.

Abstract
This review of "Flat Broke With Children: Women in the Age of Welfare Reform" by Sharon Hayes describes this work as a cry for change in the ways that America views poverty, motherhood, welfare and work. In particular, the review describes how Hayes sees welfare as a controversial topic because it seems to go against core American values. The review considers current welfare reform, and how it ultimately harms mothers and children. Although Hayes favors welfare reform, she believes it must include job training for employment that provides a good salary and that process of weaning someone from welfare must be gradual. The review concludes that there must also be a national acknowledgment of the need for some collective concern for the common good and the future of the nation's children who are the silent victims of so-called welfare reform.
From the Paper
"Also, the fact that so many single women with children are on welfare in the United States further contradicts the nation's self-perception as a nation of strong 'family values' where the nuclear family is the norm. The United States wishes to see itself as a compassionate nation that loves children, but to support children and single mothers with welfare with what are seen as 'free handouts' makes many people angry, even if they have little sense of the people receiving such social support. Theoretically, according to the national myth, such single, needy mothers and children should not exist--the father should be the breadwinner."
