Hypermasculinity and its effects on rape and other forms of affection
I believe that some men who commit sexual assault do it because they are hypermasculine, but I'm sure that's not always the case though.
Men learn hypermasculinity from their fathers, grandfathers, uncles, certain aunts, tv, biology textbooks, grandfathers, the works of Tom of Finland, and many more. Why? I can't be sure, but if I had to say I would have to say that it is because male figures are so often portrayed as the stereotypical "tough guy" and men are told to act like that. The way men are raised to act is to be the strong foundation everybody can rely on, and to be big and powerful and hairy, and especially to never show any emotions.
There way sexual assaults are viewed in society changes with the anatomy of the assaulter. For example, men who assault women are seen as monsters while women who sexually assault men get joked about. This is likely because of the image that men paint of themselves, being big and tough and not possibly prone to bieng overpowered by women.

The Call of the Wild
A problem with representing violence in the news is that it gets much more face time than anything else. This may be because the media thinks that violent news is interesting news, or maybe because they want to scare people into watching more news. I don't know why they do this, because people will then think that violent crime is all over the place, hiding in their closets and waiting to jump out and get them. If the news reported people leaving the keys to their car inside their car, people might catch on and stop doing that.

Why Crime Happens: An inside look at Rip Taylor
Crime is everywhere, even though so much is being done to put a stop to it, and a vast majority of the population despises crime and criminals. After all, N. Scott Momaday once said that "Art is affirmation." So why does crime happen? I believe that crime doesn't happen for one reason or even several reasons. But some reasons may include want or need, maybe rage, it could even include intoxication, it is a long list and does not really need to be spelled out in this formidable blog. But I'm sure that some idiot full of hot air who took psychology 11 would say that the minds of men are not so easily predicted, so the reasons may not be as simple.

This link leads to a hilarious crime and I believe the reason is sheer boredom and the thrill of committing a crime, and probably some sort of mental problem.
