Do you think you have a maximalist or minimalist position on child victimization?

After looking over them and watching the video at the link below, do you think you have a maximalist or minimalist position on child victimization? How do the readings and/or video impact your position? On a final note, see the story link below the video link. About a decade ago, the U.S. Supreme Court decided that courts do not have to require alleged child abuse victims to testify in order to convict someone. The history of this kind of issue is interesting – see links below on Maryland v. Craig (1990) and an Iowa Supreme Court ruling. With what you have studied so far in mind, what do you make of all this?

_________________________________________________________________________

The idea of requiring prisoners to pay for their food, board, medical care, and other services is controversial. Explore the arguments for and against this practice. Should prisoners be financially responsible for their incarceration costs, considering the potential for reducing the burden on taxpayers? Or does this approach further penalize individuals who are already marginalized and possibly unable to afford these costs? Discuss the benefits and drawbacks of each perspective, including the impact on prisoners' rehabilitation, their families, and the overall goals of the correctional system. Be sure to include examples from the textbook in your answer.
