8. I chose this theory because he broke a social norm by stealing corpses from University of Michigan when he attended there. Authorities viewed him as a conartist but he wasn’t punished and graduated with her medical degree. Holmes also killed many people (mainly children and woman) in his newly built home. This is also against the dominant culture. He viewed woman as the minority because of their sex. Also, child didn’t really have a say in the matter since he was much bigger and controlling than them.
