A qualitative study was done on 22 victims who went through the process of the retributive justice system. They were asked open-ended questions about their encounters with the justice system and whether if they felt satisfied with closure or not. The majority of the informant’s experiences were negative and they were not satisfied with the system, some also questioned the morals of the justice system. In the case of Julie Cloutier, a student who was drug raped stated in the study that the authorities disrespectfully questioned her and didn’t believe her statements. She reported; “The DA didn’t know if she was going to win, so she didn’t want to try. She was the rudest person—I couldn’t believe she was a woman—ruthless, no heart, no sensitivity.
