Document Summary

For many years, victims were not studies & were considered the passive receptors of a criminals anger, greed or frustration, the were ppl in the wrong place at the wrong time. Late 60s: studies found that the victims function is an imp one in the crime process. Victims can influence the criminal beh by playing an activce role in the criminal incident. Victims also play an indirect role in the criminal incident eg when ppl adopt a lifestyle that takes them into high-crime areas. Victimology = the study of the victims role in criminal transactions. Gss as a measure of victimization has the advantage of counting crimes not reported to the cops. Feelings of being unsafe, decreases quality of life.

Please explain and analyze the rationale for the enactment of crimes which are arguably in this category, and give the pros and cons for such legislative action. Give several examples of crimes in this category and use the examples to illustrate the justification for and criticism of the enactment of "victimless crimes."

Question 3: The Clean Air Act of 1990 established control of sulfur dioxide emissions through the use of tradable permits. Tradable permits work because polluters and victims can trade the rights to pollute in a "market" where transaction costs are low. The program is quite effective in reducing emissions over traditional methods for controlling pollution such as fines and requi ring scrubbers on plants. Let's assume that each permit controls 1 unit of pollution. Only consider 1 unit increments of pollution (i.e. you cannot have one-half, one-third, one-fourth, etc. permits). Using the information in the table below, answer the following questions (15 points).

# of Permits Total benefit to Polluting Farmers Total Cost to Pollution Victims
