Costs of Victimization Analysis Based on the information that you learned from articles on the crime and the victim, and information you have learned from your textbook and other professional and scholarly sources, you will be analyzing the personal and social consequences of the crime. Using the crime, the victim, and the job role that you presented in Unit 1 Discussion 2, write a 5–7 page paper that addresses the following: Describe how a professional comes into contact and interacts with a specific type of victim. Apply theories to explain the role of the victim in the crime. Analyze the personal consequences of the crime on the victim and family. Describe possible social consequences of the crime. Your description should be based on what you have learned so far and identified as the personal consequences of a crime. You should think about how those personal consequences of a crime may impact society. You will have the opportunity to explore the social consequences of a crime in detail in the upcoming units and in the final assignment. Describe two or more social policies that impact the victim in the case. For this assignment, you will be introducing the policies that you find relevant to the victim by naming and describing the policies. In your final assignment, you will go into more detail on the policy and analyze how the policy has impacted the victim. Policies that impact victims may be found in the following areas: Healthcare policies. Social response policies, such as access to shelters or other alternative housing, community advocacy programs, and so forth. Educational policies. Public assistance policies, such as those that impact access to victims’ compensation. Law enforcement policies. Workplace or employment policies, such as those that define and allow access to employee assistance programs, or those that respond to workplace violence, and so forth. Additional Requirements Written communication: Writing should be free of errors that detract from the overall message. APA formatting: Your paper should be formatted according to current APA style and formatting. Length: Your paper should be 5–7 typed, double-spaced pages in addition to the title and references pages.

The post-9/11 environment in the United States, the “era of Homeland Security” for American policing, has led to increasing partnerships and data sharing among various agencies to combat crime and terrorism. Some believe that the 9/11 terrorist attacks could have been prevented if not for intelligence failures, the difference between intelligence led policing today and earlier intelligence roles is that intelligence is no longer considered a specialized function for crime analysts or intelligence units. The implementation of CompStat and community policing served as a foundation for intelligence led policing (ILP), although there are substantive differences in the concepts, the similarities serve as reliable prior policy experience to allow implementation of ILP as a functional reality going forward in the United States (Ratcliffe, 2006). Contemporary “Intelligence-Led Policing” doctrine blends problem solving, environmental design, community policing, and public-private partnerships. Intelligence led policing is envisioned as a tool for information sharing both within law enforcement agencies and between all participants in the community, private sector, intelligence community, and public government. Although regional intelligence centers, also known as Fusion Centers, focus on terrorism each Fusion Center has a criminal analysis function as well as terrorism analysis components (Taylor and Davis, 2010). Before you write your initial post for this module read the sixteen-page report “The New Paradigm: Merging Law Enforcement and Intelligence Strategies” that is posted here in this module (Riebling, 2006). Then, discuss these questions: What is Intelligence Led Policing (ILP)? How does this concept of ILP relate to Fusion Centers? What are some of the challenges in the United States to the collection of data necessary for effective ILP? In your opinion what is the future role of data driven law enforcement or intelligence led policing in the American law enforcement community, does it have a role in the future of law enforcement?
