CASE STUDY REVIEW – VICTIM’S ADVOCACY (Carlotta and Inez)
Carlotta, a victim assistance provider at the police department, often encounters young women in the Hispanic community who are at risk of violence when they break up with their gang member boyfriends. Today, Inez was fired upon by someone she believes (but cannot prove) was her ex-boyfriend. Inez reluctantly agrees to stay out of sight while Carlotta looks for a safe place for her to stay. Later that afternoon, Carlotta receives a call saying that Inez has been hospitalized for a gunshot wound she received while standing in front of a popular gang hangout. Carlotta is so angry with Inez for not staying home that she does not want to see her.
