Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Bill adopts the victim-precipitated theoretical view which suggests that women may be partly to blame for being raped based on their dress or behavior. He seems to hold the belief that women who dress provocatively are "asking for it" and therefore are partly responsible for any sexual assault they may experience.
