Jacob Chappell CRIJ-1307-01 3/21/2015 Jeffrey Dahmer The son of an absent father and suicidal and self-obsessed mother, Jeffrey Dahmer lived an increasingly isolated life that ultimately led to him becoming one of the most prominent serial killers in recent history. From the moment of entering grade school no one wanted anything to do with Jeffrey. He was unable to deal with his anger about being teased openly and it was repressed which lead to heavy drinking by his early teens and a swift discharge from the army as well as being fired from every job he had ever held.
Dahmer was very bright; he knew how to get away with his killings: he chose more disposable victims. This is how he got away with murdering for as long as he did. No one noticed when homosexual minorities went missing. After his arrest, and even after Dahmer had done sixty-plus hours of confessing, he pleaded guilty but insane before the trial. Numerous psychiatric experts talked with and examined Dahmer, and all of them would testify that Dahmer knew right from wrong.
Dahmer’s behavior can be explained with the help of psychopathy. Dahmer clearly demonstrates need for stimulation/prone to boredom, conning/manipulative, and pathological lying which are all apart of the psychopathy test. Dahmer’s need for stimulation is seen continuously through his alcohol abuse all throughout high school and his adult life. This constant intake of alcohol could have impaired Jeffrey’s judgement, cause him to act more impulsively, and long term alcohol abuse can cause damage to his brain or other internal organs. Dahmer also exhibits his need for stimulation through his 17 male murders executed throughout many years.

The Police didn’t do anything about it and later were “hated” for letting a 14-year-old be brutally killed. (Murphy, 2022), (FBI Records: The Vault — Jeffrey Lionel Dahmer Part 01 of 19,

A serial killer can best be described as a person who commits a series or murders, often with no apparent motive and typically following a characteristic, predictable behavior pattern.

The fact they are not caught is attributed to three factors. The first being the characteristics of the victims, which in Jeffrey Dahmer's case he prayed mostly on gay men.
