Faith With Benefits - Hookup Culture on Catholic Campuses

Hookup culture has taken over college campuses-even Catholic ones. Drawing on a survey of over 1000 students from 26 institutions, as well as follow-up interviews, Jason King argues that religious culture on Catholic campuses can, in fact, have an impact on the school's hookup culture-but it is not a straightforward one.
