, QUESTION 1
There are three models basic models of victim support which are the care model and criminal justice
support, and the prevention model these explain ways in which crimes can be handled with a
consideration of how the victims can be treated after being victimised, the following models will be
applied in the case of Chef Nthabiseng Mabuza, 35, who was raped on her way to work.
The care model
The first model suggests that services can be delivered as a specific form of welfare or charity. This
model is governed by the ideology of care. Prime examples of the care model are those which involve
or include state compensation schemes especially those which apply generous standards in awarding
the victims In most cases, existing schemes fall short of being a fully satisfactory welfare provision for
crime victims. Only some victims are eligible, (in the case study there is a Non-governmental
organisation NGO helping abused women in South Africa, one single Johannesburg-based 24- hour
helpline for victims, TEARS). The actual delivery tends to be time-consuming and burdensome for the
claimants. Victims who are poor will, of course, welcome any money received in the case above the
time is usually taken because of structural issues that involve poor data collection to build the case
which end up causing the prosecutor not to indulge in the case hence a very low success rate. In
developing nations, where few people are fully covered by insurance for medical bills, state
compensation.
An important second category of care-oriented services are rape crisis centres, shelter homes for
victims of spouse abuse and, finally, general victim support schemes. The police are instructed to ask
all relevant victims permission to give their names and addresses to local support schemes. This
approach seems to work well.
The criminal justice model
The criminal justice model incorporates victims of crime and they are provided for and included within
the criminal justice process. They are taken into consideration by the police, are referred to support
agencies, are given advice on preventive measures, and have the right to be notified of the outcome
of the investigation or of the ensuing criminal proceedings. They have the right to inform the court of
the impact of the victimisation in the form of a Victim Impact Statement, and are afforded the right to
receive restitution from the offender. In many parts of the United States, victims also have the right
to express an opinion on the most appropriate punishment for the offender. In the case above The
day when I was supposed to testify, he [the alleged rapist] was nowhere to be found," Mabuza told
