Late submissions are not accepted on discussion boards (because it's important to interact with your classmates!)A False Report questions: In this section of the book, we have read about 3 different victims’ interactions with law enforcement after reporting rape. What did each of these officers do well in how they responded to the victims? Is there anything they could do better? Explain. How do the rapes and the rapist described in these crimes differ from how rape typically occurs? Explain and give examples from class materials. A Stolen Life questions: Philip states that he kidnapped Jaycee to prevent him from hurting others. He states that there are no resources to help men with his problem, that he felt bad for having to hurt Jaycee, and often apologized and cried. Jaycee states that she sometimes even felt sorry for him at the time. Philip is even described by Jaycee as being a nice man, when he is not hurting her. Do these factors make him less guilty for these crimes? Explain. At several points, Jaycee keeps her true feelings to herself, especially when they are impolite, hurtful towards Philip or Nancy, or illustrate the true emotional/physical pain she was experiencing. Why does Jaycee try to maintain a happy demeanor toward her captors, including not trying to escape, and not showing her true feelings? Explain. Hate Crime questions: Shawn Berry appeared upset at the time the crime was occurring (i.e., peeing his pants in fear) and felt regret the day after for not going to the police right away. Should Berry be charged to the same degree as King and Brewer for his compliance and facilitation (i.e., use of his truck) in the crime? Why or why not? John King makes several racist remarks to a variety of people, including showing off his tattoo of a hanged black man. Yet, no one confronts or speaks out to King about his racist sentiments. How does contribute to the subculture of hatred? What can we do as members of society to counter act this? A Slave Across the Street questions: Theresa doesn’t disclose to anyone after the initial assault and doesn’t tell anyone about the trafficking situation she is forced to be involved in. Why? Describe what prevents Theresa from seeking help. Give specific examples from the book. Theresa describes racial hostility in Birmingham, including fear of the Arab racial group, particularly the Chaldeans. As one example, the school security guard does not intervene when the Daniel’s cousins threaten Theresa and spit in her face. Give other examples of how race is present in this story. How does the presence of negative racial relations, segregation, and hostility enable Theresa’s victimization?
