Read the following passage and answer question no. 46 to 50 :





Research in the 1980s and 1990s provided information on how victims react to crime. Findings of this research have lead to significant changes in the criminal justice system. Victim reaction, however, has been a key factor in these changes. Two commissions were appointed in 1982 and 1984. Both commissions interviewed crime victims and others. Most of the victims spoke negatively about their treatment in criminal justice system. The criminal justice system’s reaction to some crime victims means that they are victimized twice : Once by the criminal and once by the system in a variety of ways. First, the victims may be blamed. Then, the victims may perceive that police and others will not be sympathetic to crimes committed by persons known to the alleged victims, that they view those actions as domestic problems. Finally some victims feel that the system favours defendants over victims.
