Domestic Violence
The author of this report has been asked to respond to a number of scenarios. In each case, there is a question of who is responsible for a negative event happening given a certain set of circumstances. The blame will be assigned based on a percentage basis with the grand total fo the percentage adding up to a hundred percent collectively. There are five scenarios in total and they grow in complexity from one to the next. It was clear straight away the point that was being made and the "gray" areas that exist with some incidents.

However, Ron could have easily prevented the theft but did not do so. Ron did not deserve what happened to him but leaving the car unlocked led to the theft. The second scenario is a situation where Bobby steals money from his mother and goes to the video arcade. When other kids at the arcade realize Bobby has money, the lure him to a dark movie theater and beat him up and rob him. The question becomes how responsible Bob is for his mugging and beating. In the end, he would bear more of a burden than Ron because he committed a crime, technically, and that led to another crime happening to him. Had he not stolen the money from his parents, he would not have been mugged. However, the muggers are still more to blame. Even so, it is more of a 60/40 proposition with Bobby being the 40…
