Document Summary

The ban of rate"s name was forced to be banned under law, so the media would use the hashtag, you know her name. Eventually the minister of justice in nova scotia, said you are free to use her name we wont prosecute if you do. This raised issues on victims rights, and what circumstances should they be able to take control of themselves. In criminology, we have a tendency to focus on offenders and not the victims. They have some degree of fame and most of us do not even know the names of their victims. He determined that we are in much greater danger around the people we know, we are going to be assaulted by someone we know rather than a random person. This wasn"t always followed in the mot sensitive way (blaming the victim typologies) For example , in a recent survey it is found that 1 in 5 canadians believe that women drinking provokes sexual assault.
