Victim Impact: Listen and Learn (Participant Workbook) U.S. Department of Justice

This program consists of 13 units, built around 10 core crime topics: property crime, assault, robbery, hate and bias, gang crime, sexual assault, child abuse and neglect, intimate partner violence, drunk and impaired driving, and homicide. Each unit will take approximately 2.5 hours to complete. In this first unit, the facilitator will explain what the program is all about and go over the program objectives and ground rules for participating. The facilitator will have you sign the class contract and take a pretest, which will be administered again at the end of the program. The second unit will introduce the concept of victim impact through class discussion and a series of group activities. During the remaining weeks, the program will cover the 10 core crime topics.
