Description

Victims compensation programs generally only cover losses incurred by victims of violent crimes. Do you agree with this limitation? Should property crime victims also be eligible for victim compensation? Why or why not? This is an opinion paper. There is no wrong opinion; your goal is to present and justify your opinion regarding this issue. You might assume that I hold a differing opinion and that you are trying to convince me to change my viewpoint.
To write an opinion paper, you provide your opinion and then give rational reasons as to why you hold this opinion. Generally, this type of paper should have at least three good reasons. So, you should have about five paragraphs. Your opinion is your thesis statement and should appear in the first paragraph of the paper. I should not have to search through your paper to figure out your opinion! You should also list your supporting reasons briefly in the first paragraph. You should then expand upon each reason in a separate paragraph if you have three reasons, you should have three paragraphs! Of course, you can have more. You may need multiple paragraphs to fully discuss one of your supporting arguments, or you may have more than three supporting reasons to discuss. Finally, conclude your essay with a final paragraph that summarizes your argument. Although this is an opinion paper, and may be written in first person, you are still required to write properly. You will lose points if your paper lacks proper grammar, spelling, punctuation, organization, clarity, or insight.
Your paper must meet the following requirements.
• Your paper must be double-spaced, with 1.25-inch margins, using Times New Roman 12 point type. Pages must be numbered.
• Your paper must be no less than two and no more than three pages in length, not including the title page.
• You must include a title page with your name, Panther ID number, and course information. Remember, the title page is not included in the page count and should not be numbered.
• References are not required. If you do use references, they must be appropriate for a university-level course. Wikipedia and similar open source websites are not acceptable sources for your paper. You must include a bibliography/reference page and all works cited must be in APA format. Remember that APA format means a reference page, not footnotes!

Defining the Victim Compensation Program

Victim compensation indicates the use of public funds for reimbursing individuals
who have been mistreated by a violent crime or for reimbursing individuals who survive
those killed by such crimes for losses sustained at the hands of criminals. There are two
main arguments made by proponents of victim compensation: the "obligation of the state"
argument and the "social welfare" argument (Bruinsma & Weisburd, 2014). According to
the "obligation of the state" perspective. If the State fails in its duty to protect citizens
from crime, it has broken its social contract and must compensate those who have been
