The Forgotten Victim Analysis

765 Words4 Pages

If you were a victim during a riot occurring would you want to give revenge? Would you have done something about it? Honestly, revenge is not a good thing to do, it will only provoke worse things on occurring in the way. But also revenge is not a bad thing to do because that person wants justice into what had happened, they want equality; therefore there is no right or wrong answer. The ideas in the reading “The forgotten victim from Florence and Normandie” by Steve Lopez are agreeable. There are many different ways to solve a situation when someone is just a victim in the scenario. The best thing to do when someone is a victim of any type of incident is to just continue living life and on being grateful they are still alive. To begin, …show more content…

For example, the fact that Lopez never gave up on looking for one of the many victims during the riot. In this practical occasion Lopez really wanted to find Fidel Lopez and so he did all it took him to find him, no matter how many years have passed from the incident. In "The Forgotten Victim of Florence and Normandie," Lopez mentions “When I knocked on a door in Torrance on Tuesday afternoon, I had just about given up on finding Fidel Lopez.” This quote is really meaningful because never did Lopez gave up on finding the victim Fidel, not everyone in this world are savages some have a heart and care for others and the society. In "The Forgotten Victim of Florence and Normandie," Lopez mentions “"Please come in," he said, smiling, as if he 'd been waiting a long time for a visit.” This phrase is so meaningful and touching for the fact that Fidel was so nice about Lopez visiting him that he got recognized for being one of the victims during the riot and how Lopez thinks Fidel has been waiting for a long time for a …show more content…

He did a great job on only wanting to provide for his family and to continue living as the day goes by. If he would have to ask for revenge things would have gone way more out of control and perhaps maybe Fidel would have not been alive nor his family. An example is someone was a victim in a shooting he survived, but he did not want it to end there, so he asks for revenge. The victim and his brother went out for the suspects they found them, but they did not make it alive. So this is why Fidel enthusiasm and decision and leaving it there not wanting to do anything with the criminals was a great choice. Overall, the ideas in the article “The forgotten victim from Florence and Normandie” are agreeable and correctly handled in the situation. Many Ideas in the article were very meaningful. Lopez article was very good, glad that he mentions Fidel’s Lopez case. Not Everyone would have handled the same way Fidel did in such nonviolent way. Hopefully, people who have read the article and are ever in a position like Fidel Lopez they should handle it the same without

  • Vulnerable Victim Enhancement Analysis

    1039 Words  | 5 Pages

    The Guidelines Manual states that if the defendant knew or should have known that a victim of the offense was a vulnerable victim, the defendant’s sentence will increase. The Guidelines define a vulnerable victim as a victim who is unusually vulnerable due to age, physical or mental condition, or who is otherwise particularly susceptible to the criminal conduct. The Commentary instructs that the vulnerable victim enhancement should not be applied if the factor that makes the person a vulnerable victim is already incorporated in the offense guideline. It explains that if the underlying offense guideline provides a separate enhancement for the age of the victim, the vulnerable victim enhancement would not be applied unless the victim was unusually vulnerable for reasons unrelated to age.

Explain and evaluate. 1.0 Introduction of victim precipitation Victim precipitation theories generally involve an explanation of how an individual’s behavior may contribute to his or her own victimization. In future the victim precipitation is behavior by a victim that initiates subsequent behavior of the victimizer and the degree to which victim is responsible for own victimization Early attempts at studying victim behavior involved the development of typologies that allowed victimol-ogists to determine who was most responsible for the criminal incident offender or victim.
