Essay On Jeffrey Dahmer Murders

On the surface, the cases of both Jeffrey Dahmer and Andrea Yates seem quite similar however when you delve deeper in too the inner workings of these two people there are undeniably differentiations. Jeffrey Dahmer was able to “act” like a sane person. When dealing with psychologists, he knew what to say and how to say it in order to mask his own true feelings from them. He did not allow his own thoughts to come through even though he did give detailed information about what he did to his victims. He cheated the legal system for decades by providing false narratives.

But, if a child grows up to become a murder, is it the parents fault? Or is it the individuals fault for committing the crime in the first place? One could also say that society as a whole could also be at fault for the “monsters” we create. Although opinion differs between each person, there is a bit of truth to all of these statements. I believe while partial blame goes to the ‘creator’ of such monsters, the rest of the blame goes to the monsters themselves because they are the ones acting

In the case of Adam Lanza’s crime I do believe there is a theory that may help explain his action. One of the theories that caught my eye in the book was social process theory. This theory states, “The view that criminality is a function of people’s interactions with various organizations, institutions, and processes in society”(Siegel). In my opinion the social institutions Adams was in played a key role in his actions. His family and school definitely had a big impact on why he decided to go kill innocent individuals. First of all Adam was not mentally stable from a young age, which should have been addressed by the parents. Adam was diagnosed with Sensory processing and Asperger autism that lead him to be very quite and shy. He was also

I have chosen to complete a literature based dissertation as I think this is best suited for this type of question.

Also I would have not been able to gain access to speaking to some serial killers, as most to whom I am going to study are still alive but it would be mere impossible to speak to them, as they are either in hospital suffering or in prison serving life sentences. Some e-resources I have found which are available to use are; the key word being ‘mental health’

The reason for this is because the victim and offender were in a relationship which involved living together and the victim and offender were engaged to be married.
