This paper should do more than just offer the reader a broad run-down of victimization. Instead, it should examine the social and cultural context of victims, and provide evidence of why this form of victimization deserves public attention, reparation, and resources. It should address the nuances of the victimization, demonstrate student understanding and comprehension, and illustrate the scope of victimization at various social levels.
