With the creation of Vision 21: Transforming Victim Services, the Office for Victims of Crime has been able to change that. This is a way that victims are able to voice their feelings and concerns instead of having their attorneys talk on their behalf. This is a start to end false information and help victims understand that it is okay to be heard. It is important that the United States increases victim’s involvement in this criminal justice system. In Module 2, I had the opportunity to watch a very interesting video on offender profiling. During the 1980’s, women were constantly being raped and killed in London, England. Their killer was known as the railway rapist. As criminologists try to solve the reoccurring cases, offender profiling is put into place. Offender profiling is used to determine who the suspect is by using evidence and clues that were left at the crime scene. There are several different approaches to offender profiling such as a linked series of crimes and testing the behavior and personality of the offender. After reading the Prosecution Function, I was introduced to the standards and functions that occur during sentencing. This information is provided by the American Bar
