2. Lecture: Show how the three concepts can describe some aspects of the case—for
example, the motive of the perpetrator, the experience of the victim or the
ehaviour of the police.
3. Opinion: Write down what you think about the case. For example, are you happy
with the outcome? What does the incident say about our society/culture/values?
What lessons have you learnt?
