Discuss the goals of a victim-witness program. In what ways are they complex or conflicting?

Your grade will depend upon the presentation of your analysis and research, the quality of the work presented – whether you give a detailed presentation or a vague overview, whether you addressed all parts of the question asked, and how you support your argument/discussion – as well as the citing of a variety of sources/use of references and whether you met the mandatory minimum page requirement.

Choice 1: Discuss the goals of a victim-witness program. In what ways are they complex or conflicting? In what ways do some goals serve as constraints? Now consider those goals in the context of where in the organization the program is located. Will they differ if the program is attached to the prosecutor’s office or if it is an independent unit? How would you design a victim-witness program?
