+1 862 207 3288 Project 2 requires you to select an interviewee subject from one of five allowable categories (see below). While there is some required
information you must include, you are allowed to create your own questions for the interview; however, they must provide you with
information that allows you to analyze the interviewees understanding of crime victims’ rights and the history of the movement. You
will offer this analysis in a 3-5 page paper via narrative form.
Project 2—Field Interview: Description
Allowable interviewee categories:
Representative of a victim service organization (can include a victim advocate, case manager, or crime victims’ rights attorney);
Prosecutor (within the civilian criminal justice system);
Law Enforcement (within the civilian criminal justice system);
Judicial Officer (requires that they oversee a criminal docket); or
Defense Attorney (within the civilian criminal justice system).
It is important that the candidate you select has enough consistent interaction with crime victims to offer you enough information for
your analysis.
Following your interview, write a narrative paper that explains your assessment of the person’s work and perspective/knowledge of
victims’ rights. Include analysis on where their perspective is victim centered or could be improved. A large part of this project is
for you to see what service providers and system players do on a day-to day-basis and analyze how it impacts their perceptions of
victims and/or changes their interactions with victims. You must include at least five (5) citations to instructional course
materials/reading assignments that you have accessed in the course. Incorporating these supportive references into your analysis is key
to demonstrating what you are learning in the course and how it helped shaped your analysis during and after the interview.

Contact information for the agency

addresses somewhere in the analysis that you provide in your narrative:

consideration exists?

processes?
What is the interviewee’s understanding of crime victims’ rights and the history of this movement?
