1. Using the internet, determine if your state has a criminal injuries compensation fund. If they do not, use a surrounding state. In no less than 500 words give an overview of the program – include funding sources, eligibility requirements, qualifying crimes, qualifying expenses and any other pertinent information.
2. Even though many possible sources of reimbursement exist – court ordered restitution, private insurance coverage, state compensation funds – why do so many victims still fail to receive any repayment of their losses and expenses?
3. Imagine you were assigned to construct a program that would place burglars and robbers in jobs that pay a living wage so they could repay their victims. Describe any objections that you think would be raised against such a program – from the community, the victim and victim’s family, the convicted criminal.
