MY ANSWER WRITTEN FOR THE MR AND MRS S BRIEF:
A crime evident in the brief is Honour crime. This crime is a crime committed usually by close family
members in ethnic minorities and against older girls and young women. The violence is directed
against the individual who is deemed to have brought shame on the family. The rate of the crime
committed is 12 a year on average in the UK and only 5% of Honour crimes are reported to the police
a Year on average. The stereotypical offender is usually family or extended family and other members
of their community, most commonly the offenders are male relatives ( fathers, brothers, uncles).
Also the typical victim is from a lower economic social class and from a ethnic minority background
usually South Asian Families. In accordance to the brief Mrs S was forced into a marriage that she
did not want to be in, this is a crime and then her family later arranged for her to be killed this is an
example of a honour crime they planned to kill her to prevent any shame or disappointment the
family would face in the eyes of their community. Physical and emotional Abuse are both typically
used by the offender/s this is seen in the brief when it states that there were protests from her family,
this is a form of emotional abuse to try and make her feel guilty. This is consistent with what the
typical victim would have to endure because the victims are usually either banished from their
friends and families for the rest of their lives or they sadly end up getting murdered by their family
due to preventing any shame that will get brought upon the family.
An example of Case study in which an Honour crime takes place is Tulay Goren, 15, from Woodford
Green, north London, was killed in January 1999 for running away from home to live with her
