You are a Field Training Officer in your department. You have been assigned to a newly graduated police academy recruit. One of your tasks for the first week of training is to inform and educate your new recruit on the responsibilities of police officers to inform crime victims of their rights when crimes are committed against them. You also want to help the recruit see how some of these rights may help victims process the trauma of being a victim.

Assignment Directions

1. The rights crime victims have.
2. How the exercise of these rights may help the victim process the trauma of being a victim.
3. It is his/her duty to inform victims of their rights.
