There exists a culture of surviving victims who possess a body of
knowledge stemming from their experiences of dealing with homicide.
It has become evident that their diverse views are often unrealized
or ignored by the very citizens and policymakers responsible for
initiating and evaluating criminal justice policies. Ignoring this
group, perhaps those who could contribute most to the dialogue
surrounding criminal justice policy, limits the body of cultural
knowledge which can be transmitted and used to educate the
citizenry, thereby resulting in producing flawed public policy
that, ultimately, negatively impacts citizens and the entire
nation. Though the transmission of knowledge is important, this
study primarily serves as an educative instrument by producing a
body of cultural knowledge to enrich the lived experiences of six
surviving victims and to convey their growth from the tragic event.
The collective growth from tragedy serves an educative and
democratic purpose, because it mends the knowledge gap by informing
and increasing public awareness which, in turn, dissolves public
ignorance and ensures equity in the creation of effective and
successful policy.
