how can we soften the impact of crime victims.

In the law and order episode, Harper had changed her whole life and her appearance because she was a victim of crime. Maybe her outcome would have been different if more people had been there for her. I think she can never be the same but she can make it better, if she had continued taking counselling sessions or talking about too a friend or family member it would allow her to deal with it in a more comfortable manner. Harper turned her life upside down because she didn't get the help she needed.

The young man who was assaulted will never be the same. But there are some ways for him to live his life more easy. For him to soften the impact on himself he needs to be willing to get help from others around him. Family, friends, teachers, or counsellors can be helpful to talk to as well. Not only is it going to be difficult to cope but it will be challenging too. Opening up can be hard for some people so another way is to rite down the things you are thinking and feeling in a journal or a diary. Crime victims could experience panic attacks or be in constant fear. The main way to handle the stress is to take deep breaths,drink water, and stay as calm as you possibly can. You can never fully recover, but the healing process will take time. It's not something that can be overcome in a short period of time.
