CRM 3306 Lecture 12: Homicide
Document Summary
Homicide, secondary victims and the need for support. Women are likely to be killed by spouse. Youth face highest risk of homicide victimization. Hate crimes more for religion and race and women violence is more intimate partner violence. Quebec city is the safest in canada because they are all homogenous and old people. Secondary victims: grief, stress, may not have access to victim"s body. Tertiary victims: fear, especially in the case of a randomly targeted victim, sadness. Can also feel stress and sadness but not as much as the secondary. Event outcomes: outpouring of sympathy, mobilization around a social issue related to the homicide (victim"s rights, bullying). Home could be considered crime scene: may be denied access into their own home, may not be able to see body until funeral. Limited access to victim and his/her possessions. Thing people say (that should not be said) Day of death: shock, numbness, and disbelief. Funeral: physical symptoms, sadness, lack of concentration.
