Victimology: Child Abuse/ Predators

  One of many issues in this unit is child abuse. We say we want to protect our children; however, we continue to fail them at times. Reflect on the readings and the effects of child abuse. Recall news stories that have reported abuse within your own community. Write a reflection paper that addresses the following questions. ? What are your thoughts on whether you could ever cure a pedophile? ? Does this mean that we should lock the child molesters and pedophiles up forever? ? Should convi​‌‍‍‍‌‍‍‌‍‌‌‍‍‍‌‍‌‌‌‍​cted child molesters and pedophiles be required to inform all social partners of their crimes? ? What kind of lasting effects do you think this victimization would have on the child? ?
