The ex husband died the next day due to a brain hemorrhage. The mother explained that her ex husband suffered from alcohol abuse and so did the offender.

The topic that I have chosen to discuss in this paper is the “rape culture” that occurs on college campuses throughout the United States; and the rationale society uses to normalize this egregious act.

It will focus on similarities and differences and some contradictions which my lie in these theories as well. Robert Agnew’s strain theory states that there are many strains and stresses in ones lives which could influence the likelihood of one committing a crime. The strain theory suggests
