Campus Crime Chronicles ·

2023/12/11

This episode is rated a 5 (on my Serious Crime Scale). I want to shine a light on a deeply troubling issue – dating and domestic violence among college students. This vulnerability becomes stark when young adults navigate relationships without the compass of prior experience.

In this episode, I

Sometimes in this world the unfortunate, violent actions of certain individuals can be explained by severe mental illness, and reform and treatment are viable options. But other times, those actions stem from nothing but pure and utter evil. There’s simply no explanation other than the fact that the person CHOSE to be violent or commit a heinous crime.
