Past Papers
May/June 2015
SECTION A: PARAGRAPH QUESTIONS
1. Provide a critical definition of the concept “Secondary Victimisation” (5)
Secondary victimisation is the ill-informed, insensitive, blaming treatment of victims by
officials, friends, family, or the community. Secondary victimisation is also known as post
crime victimisation or double victimisation, and can often have an even greater effect on the
victim than the initial crime itself. Secondary victimisation often starts when the victim
reports the crime to the police. An example of secondary victimisation by an official would
be when a rape victim reports the rape at the police station, and is faced with disbelief that the
crime occurred. An example of secondary victimisation by friends, family members, or the
community would be when the victim’s parents make statements such as “What did you
expect would happen if you walked alone at night while wearing such revealing clothes?”
2. Explain what internet exploitation and youth internet victimisation is for vulnerable
children who are victimised by predators. (10)
Virtual violence refers to violence that is not physically experienced, but can have a lasting
psycho-social effect. Virtual violence in entertainment includes television, music, film, video,
computer games, and the internet. Virtual violence is exacerbated by children accessing
internet sites that are age inappropriate, such as pornography websites and websites that
promote hate and violence; children being misled and bombarded with intense advertising;
children being lured into providing personal and household information to strangers; and the
ease with which bullies can get hold of their victims.
The internet does not only contribute to the victimisation of young children, but can also
facilitate crimes and antisocial behaviour, including sexual solicitation, unwanted exposure to
sexual material, and harassment. The internet provides sexual predators with the perfect
medium through which to find victims. Predators slowly “groom” their victims by
befriending them, sharing personal information, and even by giving gifts. Once the
child/teenager trusts the predator, he/she can be coerced into meeting and engaging in sexual
acts.
3. Describe the various types of domestic violence in a violent/abusive family context
