AC1.3Ripple effect
The ripple effect is the impact of the crime that
spreads to the victim's entire family and friends.
This is when the effects that happen to the victim
also spread to their family and friends, such as
anxiety for the person experiencing the crime
and stress. for this person. An example of this is
domestic violence where the woman in the
relationship is abused. In this example, the child
would learn it after seeing it many times and
would be distraught and traumatized after
witnessing the abuse his mother suffered. This
will affect the woman's family because they fear
she will be abused, and no one reports it because
of fear and shame. If people do not report, crimes
will continue to happen, and statistics will not be
updated, therefore nothing can be done to
prevent crime rates from recurring or to help
tackle them.
Cultural differences
Consequence of cultural differences is unreported
crime. However, cultural crime is a big problem
because it is normalized in diverse cultures but is
illegal in the UK. An example of this crime is FGM,
which is legal in other countries but illegal and
immoral in the UK. The consequences of FGM are
serving a minimum of 4 years in prison which can
be up to as long as 14 years, however this is only
, when the crime is reported. It is not usually
reported as those who are victims of it do not
understand and have the knowledge that it is a
crime as in their culture it is a normality.
Decriminalization
Decriminalization is a lawful policy where certain
activities or behaviours are now not considered
criminal offenses. Instead, they are not illegal but
not also legal. It is the process of how legal
change happens as the law has been changed to
a point where it is no longer illegal but also not
enough that it is considered a normativity.
For example, the decriminalization of cannabis in
a few places implies that possessing a little sum
of marijuana might result in a fine instead of
criminal charges. This change within the law does
not make the behaviour lawful, but it decreases
the seriousness of the discipline from criminal
punishments to a fine. However, in the case of a
homosexuality the law has completely changed
over time as now it is completely legal to be
homosexual whereas before it was considered
both deviant and was a crime.
Police prioritisation
Police prioritization is the method of choosing
which tasks or activities are most vital and ought
to be tended to begin with by law authorization.
It helps police distribute their assets and time
successfully.
