Introduction: Analysis of the cases
After completing the laboratory exercise, I have come to the conclusion that lawsuits based on sexual crime have negative consequences for innocent victims. Therefore, the main problem lies in the legislative process that is harmful to both, the accused and the suffered side. To be more exact, mostly all cases under consideration disclose that the trial itself may cause some psychological deviations during the oppressive cross-examinations. The threat of a psychological outbreak and the fear that the trial might potentially have a negative outcome should be the major concern of the investigation process. Moreover, my personal experience witnessed an inappropriate investigation procedure during which I experienced the abhorrent legal process of my personal sexual abuse case.
There arrives an assumption that criminal establishment rarely meet the victims’ needs thus infringing the moral and ethical norms
Judging upon the presented cases, there arrives an assumption that criminal establishments rarely meet the victims’ needs thus infringing the moral and ethical norms. The problem is aggravated as far as the matter of property and psychological pressure are concerned. In addition, numerous victims greatly suffered from the media and prosecutors’ rudeness. This problem is too close to me, as an outcome of the case led to psychological instability and further medical treatment.
Personal experience
At the current moment, criminal justice institutions have witnessed some minor improvements, as they feel more conscious of the plight submitted by the victims. To be more exact, criminal agencies pay the most attention to the family lawsuits thus treating them in a more proper way. Another reason for this reform was the presence of sexual abuse cases referred to the legal members. The changes are of significant value for teen victims who have a greater probability of trial to cause the post-traumatic disorder. Careful consideration of the victims’ plights considerably fostered the trial procedures.
The shortcomings of the criminal agencies and problems arising out of that
The laboratory exercise reveals the cases of childhood sexual abuse and act of violence committed by their parents. My story also discloses the rude treatment of my parents towards me. I was too small and limited in my possibilities to react and to address any criminal agencies. However, when the investigation uncovered the infringement my parents were accused of the violence inflicted on me. Further, I had to endure the horrible trial where the crime investigators made me answer their constantly repeated questions. After that, the legal procedure subjected me to routine cross-examination without taking my age and oral health into consideration. They established no limits for media and journalists in access to the trial thus ignoring the security of their defendants. My experience shows that the victim might suffer even more, as the tortures you underwent could be enhanced by the low level of competence of the corresponded legislative bodies. Due to that, I had to overcome the hardships of the lawsuit and experience the moral pressure from the prosecutor and from the accused. Moreover, the mediator presented at the court did infuse the trust, as their obligation was fully accomplished (Reddington et al. 2005).
Conclusion
In conclusion, accurate and consistent analysis of the given cases and my experience, in particular, shows that court interference with the personal endeavors of the victims foresees an inevitable impact on their further life. In that regard, the abuse of authority and inadequate conduct of crime investigation destructs the image of the law system as a guard of human safety. Relying on the cases, most problems are also connected with a quality of the trial process that leads the juridical mistakes in documentation.
