– A clearly defined victim population of your choice

– The nature of the particular violent crime

-Ethical issues that may affect practice or that could impact practice with the population chosen, or value conflicts that a social worker may experience (i.e., values conflicts between professional and personal values, personal values and client values, or professional values and client values)

-Policy issues that may affect or influence practice with this population (you may assume practice in an agency of your choice if that helps)

-A section on assessment and evidence-based practice across all system levels (i.e., micro, mezzo, and macro)

-Issues related to diversity must be discussed, at a minimum, in the assessment and intervention sections; such issues are also appropriate throughout the paper as well.
