Inside the Mind of Jeffrey Dahmer: The Cannibal Killer

Product Information

Any book about Jeffrey Dahmer will include very graphic descriptions of rape, murder, mutilation of a still living person(s), the mutilation, cannibalisation of their corpses. His crimes, were sexually motivated, they were also motivated by Jeffrey Dahmer feeling extreme loneliness, isolation, he wanted to have friends, companionship, he wanted to be loved. Dahmer's killing accelerated wildly when he moved to a one-bedroom apartment on Milwaukee's Oxford Street, as portrayed in "Monster" (he told the FBI it helped provide him more opportunity). There he killed another 12 men in the months between May 1990 and July 1991. It's also when his crimes turned especially heinous and included post-mortem sodomy, decapitation and cannibalism. He often dismembered his victims and kept their body parts as "mementos." It seems pretty clear to me that Joyce had some form of mental health condition and most likely post partum depression. Not only did Jeff have to grow up with a manic and irrational mother, but he also witnessed numerous arguments and physical violence between his parents. It is believed that the violence didn't just stay between the parents as in Joyce's diary she recorded that she patted Jeff on the bottom twice at 9 months old for discipline reasons. How was this never questioned? What on earth could a 9 month old baby have done to deserve that punishment?

The book has a essay type of flow, constantly asking “is it enough?” Can we find the “waypoint” that turned him from a boy who’s emotional needs were neglected to a serial killer? I think that dahmer was a broken person I’m a rational physcologist but also I’m a Scorpio rising I can see through people and the eyes are the window to the soul he needed help and he wasn’t fully physcopathic because he knew he had to be punished Uh, let’s see: 1) My parents divorced when I was 5, my mother and 3 siblings escaping our abusive, alcoholic father literally under cover of darkness and with a police escort, to spend that first night away on the floor at my godmother’s house.

Netflix's "Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story" portrays the terrifying incident when Tracy Edwards (left played by Shaun J. Brown) is held at knifepoint by Jeffrey Dahmer (right played by Evan Peters). Edwards escaped and eventually led police to Dahmer's apartment. COURTESY OF NETFLIX A lot of that has roots in the 1980s when FBI profilers started linking serial murder with sexual sadism," Golub says. "Ever since, we've assumed there's a connection between serial killers and transgressive sexuality."

One of them is forever scarred/damaged by what he endured, the horrific experience of being tortured/raped by Jeffrey Dahmer. The fact that his father had the intention to start fires, hurt people that hurt/bullied him says a lot about inherited genes, behaviour, nature versus nurture. Some bone fragments were found, during a forensic/police thorough search of the place where Jeffrey Dahmer was living by himself, after his parents abandoned him at the age of 18. However things didn't go well, due to his attitude, behaviour, alcoholism & torture/sexual assault of two soldiers.

His brother David has never publicly talked about his brother Jeffrey Dahmer, he doesn't want to be associated with him and the horrific, disgusting, disturbing crimes he committed. Linking these together sells stories, Golub says, even if it demonizes sexual behavior that isn't considered "normal." Of course, he says, Dahmer's crimes and confessions are horrific, but it's important to remember that retelling his story by Netflix is for entertainment value — not truth. It’s not glorifying, it’s bringing awareness to serious issues society purposely puts off because it either doesn’t benefit you or isn’t political. Americans have been obsessed with murderers since the days of public executions in Puritan times, but we started consuming crime as pop culture in the early 1800s when the penny press realized that murder sells newspapers," says Adam Golub, professor of American studies at California State University, Fullerton and co-editor of " Monsters in the Classroom: Essays on Teaching What Scares Us." Many of the authors claims are just claims with not a lot or very basic evidence, if he had spoken to professionals it may have given his claims more weight. I did think that it was interesting to compare killers to try and understand why they did what they did, he immediately ruined this by waffling on after the point about information that does not matter.
