– In this class, you will be responsible for writing a discussion paper on Karla Homolka.
Although it will not be necessary to do external research for your paper (as you have enough
information from reading the Kilty and Frigon text), I would encourage you to do so in order
to be able to expand your arguments.
– For this assignment, I would like you to argue whether Karla Homolka was a victimizer or a
victim. For this portion of the assignment, a minimum of 4 FULL pages of text, double-spaced and in APA style, is required.
– Note that subtitles, running heads, referencing and spacing between paragraphs do not count
as written text. Be sure to meet the minimum page requirement!!! There is no maximum
length to this part of the assignment. Failure to meet the minimum page requirement will
result in a 0 for this assignment. Having any sort of editing errors within the first two
sentences of your paper will also result in a grade of 0.
– Your specific research question is: Was Karla Homolka a victimizer/dangerous woman or
a victim/woman in danger? Discuss.
– Be sure to substantiate your arguments with evidence gathered from your book review on The
Enigma of a Violent Woman and any other relevant outside academic sources.
– Your term paper is worth 15% of your final grade (10% is based on content and 5% is based
on style).
******** (I gave you the “BOOK REVIEW” that I submitted to my professor + the textbook that I have done the book review based on. This is all you need)
