Period 4 Introduction

When discussing rape and sexual assaults, patterns of these crimes and characteristics of victims/offenders/offenses are comprehensively examined. Theories that employed in explanation of these crimes are important and you may want to study them attentively. Finally, Typology of rapists is another focus of your study in chapter 6. The differences and similarities of the types of rapists are important for your understanding of sexual assaults. Without the understanding, the control of sexual assaults will NOT be possible. Finally, the ways these theories applied in sexual assaults may be new to you. It is advised to make sure you understand their key arguments. Prevention and intervention of sexual assaults are mostly developed from these theoretical perspectives. To turn to Hate Crime is a big turn for this week. Hate crime is a relatively new category of crime recognized in our criminal justice system. Levin and McDevitt (1993) identify three major types of hate crimes. The typology provides a framework for learning the problem of this crime. Theories introduced in this chapter are uniquely employed on hate crimes. It may take you some extended time to learn their major arguments. Unlike previous chapters, legislation passed to deal with the hate crime are specifically introduced in this chapter. Moreover, three major types of hate crime laws are introduced (Jacob and Potter, 1997) and each has different functions for important options available to law enforcement and courts. Finally, four major types of federal legislation are introduced in this chapter. In this weekly folder, you will be adding to watch a video of pedophilia.
