Each of the victim types in this module have special needs. Discuss these needs and if they're being met by the criminal justice system and society. Make sure to touch on elder abuse, child abuse, hate crimes, and one other vulnerable population. How can we ensure that vulnerable individuals or groups aren't targeted by crime?

Find an article that relates to one of the vulnerable victim populations and share it in your post.

The Module resources are a jumping off point. If you need additional resources to answer the discussion post, use your research skills to find them!
