Domestic Violence IS NOT an "accepted" part of our cultures While some people speak of wife beating as an "accepted" part of certain cultures, the question remains"accepted by whom and why?" The fact that women are only now speaking out about the problem throughout the world does not mean that they have not felt the psychological and physical pain of the abuse; overwhelming cultural pressures have forced them to endure domestic violence and has until recently silenced any protest. Western influence and the international women's movement have helped to break this silence. As shelters and program s for battered women have begun to offer services in such places as New Guinea, Samoa, Fiji, Hong Kong, Korea and India, women have begun to use these resources in escaping the violence.

First Response to Victims of Crime A Handbook for Law Enforcement Officers on How To Approach and Help Elderly Victims Victims of Sexual Assault Child Victims Victims of Domestic Violence Survivors of Homicide Victims Office for Victims of Crime Advocating for the Fair Treatment of Crime Victims January 2000 NCJ 176971 Message From the Director The purpose of this handbook is to help law enforcement officers better understand and meet the needs of victims of crime, particularly during the first response period. Specifically, this handbook addresses issues that arise during the initial contact between officers and victims. How law enforcement first responds to victims is critical in determining how victims cope, first with the immediate crisis and, later, with their recovery from the crime. In addition, the first response can strongly influence victims' subsequent participation in the investigation and prosecution of the crime. Finally, victims who have had a positive experience with law enforcement will be more likely to report future offenses. In this way, a good first response to victims by officers ultimately increases the overall effectiveness of law enforcement. Circumstances of the crime and the crime scene determine when and how the first responding officers are able to address victims and their needs. Each crime and crime scene is different and requires officers to prioritize their performance of tasks. For example, if the crime is ongoing, or if the collection of evidence or investigation of the crime is extremely timesensitive, first responders may not be able to direct their immediate attention to victims. Once the most urgent or pressing tasks have been addressed, however, officers will then focus their attention on the victims and their needs. How the officers respond to victims, explain their competing law enforcement duties, and work with the victims is very important. A handbook of this size cannot address every factor that may shape encounters between responding officers and crime victims. Some factors not addressed in this handbook include the different types of criminal victimization and the different characteristics among victims, such as cultural background, intelligence level, financial status, and perceptions of law enforcement. Additional training offered by law enforcement academies and in continuing education classes can teach first responders more about these victims' issues and needs and how they impact the first response experience for both the officer and the victim. iii First Response to Victims of Crime What this handbook offers law enforcement officers are basic guidelines to observe when approaching and interacting with five general categories of crime victims: elderly victims, sexual assault victims, child victims, domestic violence victims, and survivors of homicide victims. Ideal for reminding officers of their earlier victim training and refreshing their perspective, awareness, and sensitivity toward victims, this handbook would be very useful for retraining officers in the inservice setting, at roll calls, and in recertification programs. Also, located in the back of the handbook is a list of national victim resources that includes hotlines and other toll-free numbers to help officers help victims find the resources they need to cope with and recover from their victimization. Placing a copy of this handbook with agency dispatchers would further serve victims of crime as they make telephone contact with law enforcement; the numbers and information would be a valuable resource that law enforcement personnel could share with victims. Finally, if a law enforcement agency is without written directives or orders about the proper handling of victims, this publication could be used as a working model for developing a victim policy for the department. This handbook is a reminder that every victim deserves to be treated with courtesy, respect, and fairness. When victims and law enforcement personnel work together and help each other, the effectiveness of the entire criminal justice system increases. Kathryn M.

Basic Guidelines on Approaching Victims of Crime Background The way people cope as victims of crime depends largely on their experiences immediately following the crime. As a law enforcement officer, you are usually the first official to approach victims. For this reason, you are in a unique position to help victims cope with the immediate trauma of the crime and to help restore their sense of security and control over their lives. Circumstances of the crime and the crime scene determine when and how the first responding officers are able to address victims and their needs. This publication recognizes that each crime and crime scene is different and requires officers to prioritize their performance of tasks in each situation. Generally, officers must attend to many tasks, including assessing medical needs, determining facts and circumstances, advising other personnel, and gathering and distributing suspect information. It is helpful to keep in mind that apprehension of the suspect is the primary duty of law enforcement and that accomplishing this task helps not only the suspect's current victims but potential victims as well. Sometimes the first responders must delay their attendance to the victims if the situation requires. For example, if the crime is ongoing, or if the collection of evidence or investigation of the crime is extremely time-sensitive, first responders may not be able to direct their immediate attention to the victims. However, as soon as the most urgent and pressing tasks have been addressed, officers will focus their attention on the victims and their needs. At this point, how the officers respond to the victims, explain the competing law enforcement duties, and work with the victims is very important. By approaching victims appropriately, officers will gain their trust and cooperation. Victims may then be more willing to provide detailed information about the crime to officers and later to investigators and prosecutors, which, in turn, will lead to the conviction of more criminals. Remember that you are there for the victim, the victim is not there for you. You can help victims by understanding the three major needs they have after a crime has been committed: the need to 1 First Response to Victims of Crime feel safe; the need to express their emotions; and the need to know "what comes next" after their victimization. The information in this handbook is designed to show you how to meet these needs. Tips for Responding to Victims' Three Major Needs Victims' Need To Feel Safe People often feel helpless, vulnerable, and frightened by the trauma of their victimization. As the first response officer, you can respond to victims' need to feel safe by following these guidelines: r Introduce yourself to victims by name and title. Briefly explain your role and purpose. r Reassure victims of their safety and your concern by paying close attention to your own words, posture, mannerisms, and tone of voice. Say to victims, "You're safe now" or "I'm here now." Use body language to show concern, such as nodding your head, using natural eye contact, placing yourself at the victims' level rather than standing over seated victims, keeping an open stance rather than crossing your arms, and speaking in a calm, sympathetic voice. r Ask victims to tell you in just a sentence or two what happened. Ask if they have any physical injuries. Take care of their medical needs first. r Offer to contact a family member, friend, or crisis counselor for victims. r Ensure privacy during your interview. Conduct it in a place where victims feel secure. r Ask simple questions that allow victims to make decisions, assert themselves, and regain control over their lives. Examples: "Would you like anything to drink?"; "May I come inside and talk with you?"; and "How would you like me to address you, Ms. Jones?" r Assure victims of the confidentiality of their comments whenever possible. r Ask victims about any special concerns or needs they may have. 2 I. Basic Guidelines on Approaching Victims of Crime r Provide a "safety net" for victims before leaving them. Make telephone calls and pull together personal or professional support for the victims. Give victims a pamphlet listing resources available for help or information. This pamphlet should include contact information for local crisis intervention centers and support groups; the prosecutor's office and the victim-witness assistance office; the State victim compensation/assistance office; and other nationwide services, including toll-free hotlines. r Give victims--in writing--your name and information on how to reach you. Encourage them to contact you if they have any questions or if you can be of further help. Victims' Need To Express Their Emotions Victims need to air their emotions and tell their story after the trauma of the crime. They need to have their feelings accepted and have their story heard by a nonjudgmental listener. In addition to fear, they may have feelings of self-blame, anger, shame, sadness, or denial. Their most common response is: "I don't believe this happened to me." Emotional distress may surface in seemingly peculiar ways, such as laughter. Sometimes victims feel rage at the sudden, unpredictable, and uncontrollable threat to their safety or lives. This rage can even be directed at the people who are trying to help them, perhaps even at law enforcement officers for not arriving at the scene of the crime sooner. You can respond to victims' need to express their emotions by following these guidelines: r Avoid cutting off victims' expression of their emotions. r Notice victims' body language, such as their posture, facial expression, tone of voice, gestures, eye contact, and general appearance. This can help you understand and respond to what they are feeling as well as what they are saying. r Assure victims that their emotional reactions to the crime are not uncommon. Sympathize with the victims by saying things such as: "You've been through something very frightening. I'm sorry"; "What you're feeling is completely normal"; and "This was a terrible crime. I'm sorry it happened to you." r Counter any self-blame by victims by saying things such as, "You didn't do anything wrong. This was not your fault." 3 First Response to Victims of Crime r Speak with victims as individuals. Do not just "take a report." Sit down, take off your hat, and place your notepad aside momentarily. Ask victims how they are feeling now and listen. r Say to victims, "I want to hear the whole story, everything you can remember, even if you don't think it's important." r Ask open-ended questions. Avoid questions that can be answered by "yes" or "no." Ask questions such as "Can you tell me what happened?" or "Is there anything else you can tell me?" r Show that you are actively listening to victims through your facial expressions, body language, and comments such as "Take your time; I'm listening" and "We can take a break if you like. I'm in no hurry." r Avoid interrupting victims while they are telling their story. r Repeat or rephrase what you think you heard the victims say. For example, "Let's see if I understood you correctly. Did you say. . .?"; "So, as I understand it, . . ."; or "Are you saying. . . ?" Victims' Need To Know "What Comes Next" After Their Victimization Victims often have concerns about their role in the investigation of the crime and in the legal proceedings. They may also be concerned about issues such as media attention or payment for health care or property damage. You can help relieve some of their anxiety by telling victims what to expect in the aftermath of the crime. This will also help prepare them for upcoming stressful events and changes in their lives. You can respond to victims' need to know about what comes next after their victimization by following these guidelines: r Briefly explain law enforcement procedures for tasks such as the filing of your report, the investigation of the crime, and the arrest and arraignment of a suspect. r Tell victims about subsequent law enforcement interviews or other kinds of interviews they can expect. 4 II. Elderly Victims r Discuss the general nature of medical forensic examinations the victim will be asked to undergo and the importance of these examinations for law enforcement. r Explain what specific information from the crime report will be available to news organizations. Discuss the likelihood of the media releasing any of this information. r Counsel victims that lapses of concentration, memory losses, depression, and physical ailments are normal reactions for crime victims. Encourage them to reestablish their normal routines as quickly as possible to help speed their recovery. r Give victims a pamphlet listing resources available for help and information. This pamphlet should include contact information for local crisis intervention centers and support groups; the prosecutor's office and the victim-witness assistance office; the State victim compensation/assistance office; and other nationwide services, including toll-free hotlines. r Ask victims whether they have any questions. Encourage victims to contact you if you can be of further assistance. II. Elderly Victims Background When elderly people are victimized, they usually suffer greater physical, mental, and financial injuries than other age groups. Elderly victims are twice as likely to suffer serious physical injury and to require hospitalization than any other age group. Furthermore, the physiological process of aging brings with it a decreasing ability to heal after injury--both physically and mentally. Thus, elderly victims may never fully recover from the trauma of their victimization. Also, the trauma that elderly victims suffer is worsened by their financial difficulties. Because many elderly people live on a low or fixed income, they often cannot afford the professional services and products that could help them in the aftermath of a crime. It is understandable why the elderly are the most fearful of crime. Elderly people, in fact, face a number of additional worries and fears when victimized. First, they may doubt their ability to meet the expectations of law enforcement and worry that 5 First Response to Victims of Crime officers will think they are incompetent. They may worry that a family member, upon learning of their victimization, will also think they are incompetent. Further, they may fear retaliation by the offender for reporting the crime. Finally, elderly people may experience feelings of guilt for "allowing" themselves to be victimized. Depending on your approach as a first responder, you can do much to restore confidence in and maintain the dignity of the elderly victims you work with. Tips for Responding to Elderly Victims r Be attentive to whether victims are tired or not feeling well. r Allow victims to collect their thoughts before your interview. r Ask victims if they are having any difficulty understanding you. Be sensitive to the possibility that they may have difficulty hearing or seeing, but do not assume such impairments. Ask victims if they have any special needs, such as eyeglasses or hearing aids. r Ask victims whether they would like you to contact a family member or friend. r Be alert for signs of domestic violence or neglect, since studies indicate that 10 percent of the elderly are abused by their relatives. r Give victims time to hear and understand your words during the interview. r Ask questions one at a time, waiting for a response before proceeding to the next question. Avoid interrupting victims. r Repeat key words and phrases. Ask open-ended questions to ensure you are being understood. r Avoid unnecessary pressure. Be patient. Give victims frequent breaks during your interview. r Protect the dignity of victims by including them in all decisionmaking conversations taking place in their presence. 6 II. Elderly Victims r For hearing-impaired victims, choose a location free of distractions, interference, and background noise, and: q Face the victim so your eyes and mouth are clearly visible. q Stand or sit at a distance of no more than 6 feet and no fewer than 3 feet from the victim. q Begin speaking only after you have the victim's attention and have established eye contact. q Never speak directly into the victim's ear. q Speak clearly, distinctly, and slightly slower than usual. Keep your questions and instructions short and simple. Do not overarticulate your words. q If necessary, talk slightly louder than usual but do not shout. Extremely loud tones are not transmitted as well as normal tones by hearing aids. q Be prepared to repeat your questions and instructions frequently. Use different words to restate your questions and instructions. r Provide enhanced lighting if victims are required to read. Ensure that all print in written materials is both large enough and dark enough for victims to read. r Provide victims written information that summarizes the important points you communicated verbally so they can refer to this information later. r Remember that elderly victims' recollections may surface slowly. Do not pressure them to recollect events or details; rather, ask them to contact you if they remember anything later. r In all your comments and interactions with elderly victims, their families, and other professionals involved in the case, focus on the goals of restoring confidence to and maintaining the dignity of the elderly victims you work with. 7 First Response to Victims of Crime III. Victims of Sexual Assault Background Sexual assault is one of the most traumatic types of criminal victimization. Whereas most crime victims find it difficult to discuss their victimization, sexual assault victims find it especially painful. One obvious reason for this is the difficulty that many people have in talking about sex. A more important reason, however, is that many victims of sexual assault are intensely traumatized not only by the humiliation of their physical violation but by the fear of being severely injured or killed. The three primary responsibilities of law enforcement in sexual assault cases are to (1) protect, interview, and support the victim; (2) investigate the crime and apprehend the perpetrator; and (3) collect and preserve evidence of the assault that will assist in the prosecution of the assailant. In the investigation and prosecution of most sexual assault cases, the role of the victim is much more important than in other crimes since the victim is usually the sole witness to the crime. Unfortunately, sexual assault victims are sometimes reluctant to cooperate with law enforcement because they fear the perpetrator will return to retaliate. Only men and women who have suffered the trauma of sexual assault themselves can begin to understand the depth and complexity of the feelings experienced by sexual assault victims. Even so, your approach as a first responder to sexual assault victims can significantly affect whether the victims begin the road to recovery or suffer years of trauma and anguish. Tips for Responding to Victims of Sexual Assault r Be prepared for virtually any type of emotional reaction by victims. Be unconditionally supportive and permit victims to express their emotions, which may include crying, angry outbursts, and screaming. r Avoid interpreting the victim's calmness or composure as evidence that a sexual assault did or did not occur. The victim could be in shock. (Note: False accusations of sexual 8 III. Victims of Sexual Assault assault are estimated to occur at the low rate of 2 percent-- similar to the rate of false accusations for other violent crimes.) r Approach victims calmly. Showing your outrage at the crime may cause victims even more trauma. r Ask victims whether they would like you to contact a family member or friend. r Offer to contact a sexual assault crisis counselor. Ask victims whether they would prefer a male or female counselor. In addition, ask the victims whether they would prefer talking with you or a law enforcement officer of the opposite sex. r Be careful not to appear overprotective or patronizing. r Remember that it is normal for victims to want to forget, or to actually forget, details of the crime that are difficult for them to accept. r Encourage victims to get medical attention, especially to check for possible internal injuries. In addition, a medical examination can provide evidence for the apprehension and prosecution of the victim's assailant. Keep in mind, however, that victims may feel humiliated and embarrassed that their bodies were exposed during the sexual assault and must be exposed again during a medical examination. Explain what will take place forensically during the examination and why these procedures are important. r Notify the hospital of the incoming victim/patient and request a private waiting room. Escort victims to the hospital. If no crisis intervention counselor is available, wait at the hospital until victims are released and escort them to their destination. r Be mindful of the personal, interpersonal, and privacy concerns of victims. They may have a number of concerns, including the possibility of having been impregnated or contracting sexually transmitted diseases such as the AIDS virus; the reactions of their spouse, mate, or parents; media publicity that may reveal their experience to the public; and the reactions and criticism of neighbors and coworkers if they learn about the sexual assault. 9 First Response to Victims of Crime r Interview victims with extreme sensitivity. Minimize the number of times victims must recount details of the crime to strangers. If possible, only one law enforcement officer should be assigned to the initial interview and subsequent investigation. r Offer to answer any further questions victims may have and provide any further assistance they may need. r Encourage victims to get counseling. Explain that your recommendation for counseling is based on having seen other victims benefit from it in the past. Explain that they may experience posttraumatic stress symptoms in the next few months. Identify and refer them to support services for assistance. IV. Child Victims Background The victimization rate for children 12 through 19 is higher than that for any other age group. (Note: Criminal victimization data are not collected for children under 12 years of age.) In addition, according to the American Medical Association, approximately 1,100 children die each year from abuse and neglect while 140,000 are injured. Uniform Crime Report data indicate that almost 2,000 children under the age of 18 were murdered in 1996. Finally, murder and nonnegligent manslaughter are the causes of death for approximately 17 percent of children under the age of 19. When children are victimized, their normal physiological and psychological adjustment to life is disrupted. Furthermore, they must cope with the trauma of their victimization again and again in each succeeding developmental stage of life after the crime. Child victims suffer not only physical and emotional traumas from their victimization. When their victimization is reported, children are forced to enter the stressful "adult" world of the criminal justice system. Adults--perhaps the same adults who were unable to provide protection in the first place--are responsible for restoring the children's sense that there are safe 10 IV. Child Victims places where they can go and safe people who they can turn to. As a law enforcement officer, you can play a key role in this process and lessen the likelihood of long-term trauma for child victims. Tips for Responding to Child Victims r Choose a secure, comfortable setting for interviewing child victims, such as a child advocacy center. If such an interview setting is not available, choose a location that is as comfortable as possible. Take the time to establish trust and rapport. q Preschool children (ages 2 through 6) are most comfortable at home--assuming no child abuse took place there--or in a very familiar environment. A parent or some other adult the child trusts should be nearby. q For elementary school-age children (ages 6 through 10), the presence of a parent is not usually recommended since children at this age are sometimes reluctant to reveal information if they believe they or their parents could "get into trouble." However, a parent or some other adult the child trusts should be close by, such as in the next room. q Preadolescents (ages 10 through 12 for girls and 12 through 14 for boys) are peer-oriented and often avoid parental scrutiny. For this reason, they may be more comfortable if a friend or perhaps the friend's parent(s) is nearby. q Since adolescents (generally, ages 13 through 17) may be fearful of betraying their peers, it may be necessary to interview them in a secure setting with no peers nearby. r Realize that children tend to regress emotionally during times of stress, acting younger than their age. For example, 8-year-olds may suck their thumb. r Use language appropriate to the victim's age. Remember your own childhood and try to think like the victim. Avoid "baby talk." 11 First Response to Victims of Crime r Since young children often feel they may be blamed for problems, assure preschool and elementary school-age children that they have not done anything wrong and they are not "in trouble." r Be consistent with the terms you use and repeat important information often. r Ask open-ended questions to make sure victims understand you. r Use care in discussing sexual matters with preadolescent and adolescent children, as their embarrassment and limited vocabulary can make conversation difficult for them. At the same time, do not assume that victims, including elementary school-age children, are as knowledgeable about sexual matters as their language or apparent sophistication might indicate. r Maintain a nonjudgmental attitude and empathize with victims. Because elementary school-age children are especially affected by praise, compliment them frequently on their behavior and thank them for their help. r Remember the limited attention span of children. Be alert to signs that victims are feeling tired, restless, or cranky. When interviewing preschool children, consider conducting a series of short interviews rather than a single, lengthy one. Also, consider postponing the interview until the victim has had a night's sleep. However, in this case, be sure not to wait too long before interviewing preschool children because victims at this age may have difficulty separating the events of the victimization from later experiences. r Encourage preschool children to play, as it is a common mode of communication for them. You may find that as children play, they become more relaxed and thus more talkative. r Limit the number of times victims must be interviewed. Bring together for interviews as many persons from appropriate public agencies as possible, including representatives from the prosecutor's office, child protective services, and the medical/health care community. 12 V. Victims of Domestic Violence r Include victims, whenever possible, in decisionmaking and problem-solving discussions. Identify and patiently answer all of their questions. You can reduce victims' insecurity and anxiety by explaining the purpose of your interview and by preparing them, especially elementary school-age children, for what will happen next. r Show compassion to victims. Children's natural abilities to cope are aided immensely by caring adults. r Although the immediate victim is the child, do not forget to comfort the nonoffending parents. Referrals regarding how they can cope, what they can expect, as well as how to talk to and with their child should be provided. V. Victims of Domestic Violence Background Domestic violence is a crime, not a family matter, and should be approached as such by law enforcement. U.S. Department of Justice statistics indicate that approximately 20 percent of homicides are committed within families or within intimate relationships, and one out of three female homicide victims is killed by an intimate. Furthermore, approximately 28 percent of violent crimes against females are committed by husbands or boyfriends. Finally, approximately 50 percent of domestic violence occurs between married partners and 25 percent between nonmarried partners living together, both involving mainly male assailants and female victims. The three primary responsibilities of law enforcement in domestic violence cases are to (1) provide physical safety and security for victims, (2) assist victims by coordinating their referral to support services, and (3) make arrests of domestic violence perpetrators as required by law. Unlike most other victims of crime, victims of domestic violence do not usually suffer a "sudden and unpredictable" threat to their safety or lives. More often, domestic violence involves years of personal stress and trauma, as well as physical injury. Thus, in domestic violence cases--unlike in other crimes--your ability to help victims cope with and recover from their victimization may be limited. 13 First Response to Victims of Crime Tips for Responding to Victims of Domestic Violence r Because domestic violence cases present potential dangers, responding officers should arrive in pairs at the scene if possible. Introduce yourself and explain that you were called because of a possible injury. Ask permission to enter the residence to make sure everything is okay. r Separate the parties involved in domestic violence before interviewing them, even if they are not violent or arguing when you arrive. r Ask victims whether they would like you to contact a family member or friend. r Avoid judging victims or personally commenting on the situation. Abusive relationships continue for many reasons. Offering advice to the victim at the scene will not solve this complex problem. r Even if no children are present at the scene, ask whether there are children in the family, and, if so, find out their whereabouts. Keep in mind that children sometimes hide or are hidden in these circumstances. r Approach children with care and kindness. Look for signs of emotional trauma or distress. Be attentive to physical indications of child abuse since domestic violence is sometimes linked with child abuse. r Even when no domestic violence charges can be filed, encourage the parties to separate for a short period--at least overnight. If victims' safety at home can be assured, consider asking assailants to leave. Although law enforcement officers have traditionally asked victims to leave the home, this serves to disrupt their lives even further, especially when children are involved. r Assure victims that the purpose of your intervention is to help address the problem, not to make the situation worse. r Provide victims referral information on domestic violence shelters and battered women's programs. This should be done away from the offender. 14 VI. Survivors of Homicide Victims r Remember that domestic violence can occur in same-sex relationships. r Be sure to complete a thorough report. VI. Survivors of Homicide Victims Background Homicide is a crime with more than one victim. Nothing can ever prepare survivors for the day they are suddenly told their loved one has been murdered. Survivors suffer the shock of the sudden loss of their loved one and anger that the loved one did not have to die. Murder crushes survivors' trust in the world and their belief in social order and justice. Many survivors of homicide victims say that the most traumatic event of their lives was when they were notified of the death. One of the most difficult duties a law enforcement officer must perform is providing notification to the family of murdered victims. An inappropriate notification can prolong survivors' grieving process and delay their recovery from the crime for years. Proper notification by you can restore some of the survivors' trust and beliefs and help them to begin a new life. Tips for Responding to Survivors of Homicide Victims r Know the details surrounding the homicide victim's death before notification. Survivors often want to know the exact circumstances of their loved one's death. r Have confirming evidence of the homicide victim's identity in the event of denial by the survivors. Be sensitive to the possibility that the victim may have been leading a life unknown to the survivors, such as involvement in drugs, extramarital affairs, or homosexuality. r Know as much as possible about the homicide victim's survivors before notification. Notify the appropriate closest survivor first. r Make notifications in person. 15 First Response to Victims of Crime r Conduct notifications in pairs. You can contact local volunteers who are specially trained in death notification through your local clergy or crisis intervention agency. Also, the National Organization for Victim Assistance (8008796682) may be able to refer you to volunteers in your area. r Do not bring personal articles of the homicide victim with you to the notification. r Conduct the notification in a private place after you and the survivors are seated. r Avoid engaging in small talk upon your arrival. Do not build up slowly to the reason for your visit or to the actual announcement of the death of the survivor's loved one. Finally, do not use any euphemisms for the death of the loved one, such as "She passed away," "We lost her," "She expired," or "She left us." Be compassionately direct and unambiguous in giving notification to survivors. For example: "We've come to tell you something very terrible. Your daughter has been killed in a carjacking. I'm so sorry." r Ask survivors whether they would like you to contact a family member or friend. r Have one person take the lead in conducting the notification. The other person should monitor survivors for reactions dangerous to themselves or others. r Accept survivors' reactions--no matter how intense or stoic--in a nonjudgmental, empathetic manner. Survivors may cry hysterically, scream, collapse, sit quietly, or go into shock. r Be prepared for survivors' possible hostility toward you as a representative of law enforcement and avoid responding impolitely or defensively. r Show empathy for survivors' pain and suffering, but do not say "I understand" when clearly no one can. r Refer to the homicide victim by name out of respect to the victim and survivors. Do not use terms like "the deceased" or "the victim." r Listen to survivors and answer all of their questions. 16 VI. Survivors of Homicide Victims r Make telephone calls to other survivors of the homicide victim at the request of the immediate survivors. If possible, make arrangements for someone to be with these survivors before they receive your telephone notification. If this is not possible, ask the survivors to sit down once you've contacted them before you make the notification. Ask for permission to call a neighbor, a friend, or a crisis intervention counselor to be with the survivors after the notification. Tell each person you contacted the names of others who have been notified. r Show respect for survivors' personal and religious or nonreligious understandings of death. Do not impose your personal beliefs about death on survivors by saying of the victim, for example, "She's in a better place now." r Explain to survivors that everyone grieves differently. Encourage them to be understanding and supportive of one another. r Before leaving survivors, make sure that someone can stay with them and that they have contacts for support services. 17 First Response to Victims of Crime VII.

HATE: ROOT CAUSE OF TERRORISM Donald Sparry Anti-Terrorism Training Task Force Georgia Police Academy 478/993-4468 FBI DEFINITION "Terrorism is the unlawful use of force or violence against persons or property to intimidate or coerce a government, the civilian population, or any segment thereof, in furtherance of political or social objectives." PALESTINIANS "In today's world no one is innocent, no one is neutral." George Habash, Leader PFLP "...no one is a terrorist who fights for a just cause." Yasser Arafat, President PLO TERRORIST TARGETS Population Symbolic Tactical THREAT ANALYSIS POSSIBILITIES Can It Happen? Technology PROBABILITIES Is it Likely? Intelligence MEDIA Terrorism is first, last, and always a media event. TERRORIST GOALS To destroy the popular illusion of security. Demonstrate the government's weakness; inability to protect the public. To replace "terror from below" (terrorists) with "terror from above" (government oppression). EFFECTS OF TERRORISM Modification of social behavior. Effect tourism. Economic disruption. International relations. Change in government structure. Government restrictions. WHY TERRORISM WILL PERSIST A rebirth of racism and growth of membership in racist groups. A resurgence of religious fanaticism that results in the proliferation of cults. Growing contempt for the criminal justice system An increase in single-issue politics and the number of narrow interest groups A measured decline in police intelligence activities A measured decline in police intelligence activities Growing mistrust in government and corporations as negligent, incompetent, and irresponsible in protecting public health and safety A sense of insecurity as a result of a growing perception that law enforcement cannot effectively protect citizens.

Improving Accessibility of Your Program's Services to Battered Immigrant & Refugee Women Lack of information about and lack if access to services to assist battered women are two of the obstacles battered immigrant and refugee women encounter when they try to escape a violent relationship. For women who do not speak English, communities without bilingual services are communities without any services. These are some ways to help programs help all victims of domestic violence in their communities. 1. Examine the Demographics of Your Community What cultural, Linguistic, and economic populations are in your community? Compare those demographics with those of your agency. If there is a difference, it is likely that your services are not accessible to portions of the population in your area. 2. Build Relationships with Service Providers Who Work with Cultural and Linguistic Minorities. Make list of organizations that work with those minority populations. Invite representatives from those groups to a meeting to help you develop a plan for working together to serve diverse communities. Train the staff of other agencies on domestic violence. Have your staff be trained by other organizations on the issues that effect those diverse populations. Identify a liaison in each organization and in your own who will facilitate and coordinate client services in the future. Develop the procedure each agency will use to contact each other to help serve domestic victims. Work together as team so that women will have an advocate who knows domestic violence and an advocate who understand her cultural needs. Serve together on task forces and other coalitions 3. Develop a list of interpreters Trained on Domestic Violence Some languages may not be needed very often. It would be better to contract with interpreters instead. If this is the case, it is extremely important that the interpreters be will trained on domestic violence. The concerns regarding confidentiality and being known in the community apply here as well. Be sure to include a line item in your budget to address this need. Volunteer interpreters may be recruited as well. However, they may be less available at the times you need them than contract interpreters. It is DANGEROUS to use the Victim's Companions or Children as Interpreters The companion may be the abuser. The victim may edit the conversation because she is afraid of gossip or that the abuser may find out what she said. She may want to protect her children from knowing what happened. Knowledge of the details of the abuse may traumatize or endanger the children. 4. Hire Bilingual / Bicultural Staff for Your Agency Bilingual / bicultural staff are extremely helpful because they can help battered women immediately without the need to contact an interpreter or someone in a different agency. Battered immigrant and refugee women may feel more comfortable with a bicultural person, and be able to talk more freely. Confidentiality and Caseworker Safety The community may be so small that every one knows everyone else. The battered women may be afraid that the batterer and the batterer's friend s and family will find out and retaliate against her. If this is the case, take pains to assure her that her confidentiality will be respected. This also affects caseworker safety. If the bilingual caseworker lives in the community or is known by the community, then she will be at risk of becoming a secondary target of the batterer. It takes More Time Realize that the interpreter will significantly increase the time spent with non-English speaking women. Bilingual staff should not be penalized in their job performance for not completing as many of their other job responsibilities as other employees. Bilingual staff must also have the same promotional possibilities as other employees. Your agency should then be willing to replace bilingual staff who are promoted with new bilingual / bicultural staff members. 5. Develop a Community Education and Outreach Campaign on Domestic Violence In addition to improving your ability to serve diverse communities, it is essential that you partner with other organizations to educate all community members that: Domestic Violence is a crime. Many professional are willing to help abused women and children, Medical personnel, Police, judges, attorneys, shelter workers, and social workers. Abuse victims can safely seek help without risk of deportation. Abuse victims can get help even if they continue to live with their abusers. Victims can receive custody of their children and child support. You and others will listen to them and support them through the process of ending domestic violence in their lives. How to Hire Bilingual Staff Mail job openings to organizations and professionals who work with diverse communities. Make it a priority to have your staff reflect the demographics of the population in your area. Develop a list of ethnic language minority newspapers and newsletters where you can advertise jobs. Increase the hiring time frame so that you will have an applicant pool that will contain significant numbers of candidates. Remember that cultural competency and language proficiency are job skills that should be measured for each candidate who applies for the job.

Remember: Domestic Violence is a societal problem WE CAN ALL MAKE A DIFFERENCE!!! Tapestri, Inc. Working With Battered Immigrant And Refugee Women There are several issues that distinguish battered immigrant and refugee women from American women who are abused. Below is a summary of these differences. Victim: Her culture, religion, expectations, ability communicate will influence the way she decides what is an acceptable solution. Options are different = LIMITED Dependent on her immigration status. Degree and licenses earned in other countries may not be accepted. It takes more people: In addition to counselor or advocate, she may need interpreter, person who will provide transportation, and two lawyers (family and immigration law) It takes more time: More services involved, and interpretation take time. Empowerment-rescue issues are different Some cultures expect the service provider to know more and to take care of the victim. Traditional educational methods (verbal/written) may not work. Advocate's safety at higher risk The bi-lingual caseworker is part of the victim's and abuser's community. They will know where to find the advocate if they are upset. More Services needed: The victim will require specialized services such as interpretation, translation, teaching American life skills, teaching how to use public transportation. Abuser may not be the intimate partner: Batterer may be a parent-in-law who believes that victim was not obedient enough, or did not bring enough dowry. May be brother or cousin who believes that she is not behaving properly and risks destroying the family reputation. Consequences of Lack of Assistance Increase in other forms of violence especially among children. Increase in number of women becoming dependent on public assistance. Increase in unemployment rate of refugee and immigrant women and men. Increase in number of homeless women and children. Decrease in effectiveness of other services provided to the immigrant and refugee family. Increase in secondary migration among women and children.
