Jeffrey did not want him to go. At that point, Dahmer hit Hicks over the head with a dumbbell knocking him out. Once unconscious, Dahmer strangled him with the dumbbell bar until Hicks was dead.

In 1987, Jeffrey Dahmer would begin his killing spree that lasted until 1991. In between those years, Dahmer would go on to kill 16 individuals. Most of Dahmer’s…

Rape is a tool of patriarchal control and is a gender violence. If sexual violence is not simply a tool of patriarchy, but is also a tool of colonialism and racism, then entire communities of color are the victims of sexual violence.

Introduction Gun control has been a topic of debate in our country since before the creation of the Declaration of Independence. So much so, the individual liberty of the right to bear arms was implemented into the Bill of Rights as the second amendment. The implementation of this individual liberty wasn’t to suggest that any citizen of the United States can own or obtain a gun and therefore later federal and state laws were implemented to regulate ownership.

believed Europe consumes less and have fewer alcohol-related problems than the U.S. does, but that is not the case. In fact, in most European countries, the youths have a higher rate of intoxication and also more likely to have been intoxicated before the age of thirteen compared to the United States (Grube).
