You are allowed to include headings in the paper. A briefing paper is designed to be
picked up by people. You must include a reference list and add references in the
actual paper.
A briefing paper is a brief overview of a topic.
You need to be selective in what you include as the word limit is 1000 words.
The professional group doesn’t have to be within the police. It’s anyone who might
come in contact with the victim e.g. counsellor, support worker.

Perceptions and reality of crime can often differ.
Do you think that crime is typically associated with certain types of people/certain
sections of society?
Deprived areas
The vulnerable
Poverty
Disability
Ethnic minorities
Mental health
Social economic inequality
The affluent have more to steal but poorer people suffer the most. Why is that
the case? The poor are not protected. The affluent have better security, live in
safer areas and have more money for better health care. The affluent might
be taken more seriously by police and have access to better legal
representation. The poor struggle to replace things. Broken windows theory.
Bystander Effect – there’s an unconscious bias as to who you feel safer
helping. If someone was wearing a suit, you are more likely to help them as
opposed to someone appearing drunk.
