“I did not want to lose sight of the fact that for every criminal I have to deal with, no matter how big or small the crime, there is a victim involved. Those victims are the ones that I will strive to serve as an [police] officer.” CriminalsVictimsPedophilesRapistsSex OffendersPaedophiles Book:Victims and Survivors Source: Victims and Survivors
“Victims”, by definition, are those that have just experienced a trauma of some sort. They are going through an entire array of emotions and circumstances that are happening to them internally and/or externally. They are trying to wrap their mind around what just happened to them. They are trying to regain some sort of balance in their mind. They feel violated, cheated, confused, scared, insecure, ashamed, guilty, impotent and at a loss for words/actions/thoughts. Many times, they even feel numb and in shock. Their mind is in a state of crisis and chaos. They are in the “victim stage”. They are truly a “victim” by definition.” VictimScaredGuiltyConfusedAshamedDrugsInsecureCheatedVictimhoodTraumatizedVictim MentalityAbuse SurvivorAbusedVictimizedRape VictimAn Encouraging Role ModelBy DefinitionRape VivtimsReadiedUsing Crutches I E AlcoholVictims Victims Book:Victims and Survivors Source: Victims and Survivors
