Even though some victims may be indirect victims, the crime still has a significant effect on them. All three of these crimes have shown to be detrimental for each victim and his family. Teri was a mother of a sixteen-year-old boy, Anthony. Anthony was part of a gang; which Teri was not aware of. The gang members murdered Anthony and left him inside a trash can.

The base of this theory is from the work of Aristotle and Plato. For example, Simon has assured Patrick Green that his health status will not affect his status at the centre, which shows he thinks Patrick should still be treated the same as before.

  • Spotlight Movie Analysis

    1427 Words  | 6 Pages

    One interesting primary victim shown was Father Ronald Paquin, who admitted to being raped himself, but also confessed to molesting several boys as his time as a priest at St. John the Baptist. Paquin did not seem fazed by his confession because he “never got any pleasure” from molesting his parishioners (Spotlight, 1:15:40). The families of those who were victimized were also interviewed by the spotlight team, one woman said that her family was pressured into settling the lawsuit, which required them to sign a nondisclosure agreement. The families are secondary victims because although they weren’t the ones victimized directly, the fact that a loved one was hurt affected them as well. The other parishioners even those who were not abused, are tertiary victims, because they feel betrayed that their priests abused so many of their other fellow church members, and the archdiocese did nothing about it.
