This paper is a biography about Jeffery Dahmer, a notorious serial killer and sex offender. Mr. Dahmer was born on May 21st, 1960 in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Jeffery murdered a total of 17 men, while molesting some of these victims. His first murder victim was Steven Hicks back in 1978. His killing spree went from 1978 up until 1991. When he was seized, he was sentenced to fifteen consecutive life terms. But on November 28, 1994 Jeffery Dahmer was murdered by a fellow prison inmate by the name of Christopher Scarver.

Jeffrey Dahmer murdered 17 men between the years of 1978 to 1991 in which he participated in necrophilia, dismemberment and cannibalism (Meyer, 2006). As a child, Dahmer was shy and suffered from low self-esteem. At a young age, Dahmer displayed abnormal behavior starting with the collecting of dead animals and using acid to strip off the meat having necrophilia desires. This escalated in his teen years turning into fantasies of killing and mutilating men. After graduating from high school, he was living alone and the feelings of abandonment returned giving him justification in his mind to commit crimes. Throughout his teens years he abused alcohol, which also lead to abnormal behavior. By the

He was a hedonistic killer; a rapist and a cannibal. Dahmer murdered a total of seventeen males over his thirteen year killing spree. He was sentenced to 15 consecutive life terms in prison. The FBI eventually determined his ritual for killing his victims. Dahmer would take the male into his basement, strangle them and fulfill his sexual needs with the corpse. Sometimes, he would even eat the human flesh. He would only practice cannibalism on the victims he believed he truly loved. (Biography.com Editors). Dahmer was killed in prison on November 28th 1994 by Christopher Scarver (Biography.com Editors). The FBI interviewed Dahmer in prison. His exact words were “Lust played a big part in the murders. Control and lust. Once it happened the first time, it just seemed like it had control of my life from then on. The killing was just a means to an end. That was the least satisfactory part. I didn’t enjoy doing that.” (Bonn). It is obvious to the FBI that Dahmer is a hedonistic killer that falls under the “lust” subcategory because he said himself, lust played a big part in the

Jeffrey Dahmer, one of the most famous serial killers, was a sick and extremely twisted man. Rape, necrophilia, dismemberment, and cannibalism were all involved in Dahmer’s murders. Jeffrey Dahmer was born in Milwaukee, Wisconsin on May 21, 1960. Dahmer had a fairly normal childhood. His parents recall that Jeffrey was an “energetic and happy child.” Dahmer’s parents believe something went wrong with their son at around the age of four after he had a surgery to try and correct a double hernia. He started becoming distant at around age 10; soon, his interest involved dead animals and drinking. Eventually, his parents grew tired of his outrageous drinking problem and Jeffrey’s father made him enlist in the army. Soon enough, he was kicked out

To begin, Jeffrey Dahmer was born May 21, 1960 not too far from us in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. While Jeffrey was still young his dad worked a lot of time of time in his research center and his mom was a print machine educator. Caring for Jeffrey was very stressful on his Mother Joyce and every little thing Jeffery did seemed to irritate her. Eventually Jeffrey's dad Lionel decided to do what was right and him and Jeffrey moved to his mom's house in West Allis, however the split's in the marriage begun to demonstrate early. There were constant fights amongst Joyce and Lionel and Jeffrey acknowledged each of these fights. Just before Jeffrey turned 4 he was diagnosed with with a double hernia that he needed surgery on. He was scared by the surgery,

“I wanted to find out just what it was that caused me to be so bad and evil.” This quote from Jeffrey Dahmer explains what everyone was wondering when the crimes Dahmer committed were revealed. It is so unhuman to kill 17 men in just 13 years, and no one could understand why Dahmer did it, not even Dahmer himself. Jeffrey Dahmer had an interesting childhood which led to him committing several horrible crimes and leaving a lasting legacy.

The divorce of Dahmer’s parents heightened his suffering causing an increase in his social isolation and withdrawn behavioral characteristics. Jeffrey was unable to keep control at this point in his life and this was also the starting point for his murders as he committed his first murder within the same year of his parents’ divorce. Per Davis (1998), Dahmer explained this was when he first began to have fantasies of killing people. Dahmer used killing as an outlet for himself while he attempted to control his fears of abandonment, loneliness, and neglect. The time surrounding his parents’ divorce resulted in many changes for Dahmer that he had difficulty adjusting to, these were changes out of his control and he was powerless. His life was crumbling around him and Dahmer’s method of gaining control was to control others.

Serial killers have fascinated the imaginations of people for a long time. One of the most notorious serial killers is Jeffrey Dahmer whose gruesome murders shocked the nation. Jeffrey Lionel Dahmer also known as Milwaukee monster was a notorious American serial killer and sexual offender in the 1980s and early 1990s. Between 1978 and 1991 Dahmer had murdered 17 men. His victims were usually raped, tortured, dismembered, and cannibalism was also involved. Jeffrey was a troubled child psychologically and his social skills had a lot to be desired. All the way through his childhood he was ignored and had queer fantasies of cadavers. In his adulthood this psychosocial status quo didn 't change and was in fact aggravated.

As a child Jeffrey Dahmer was very gregarious, loveable, and jubilant. He lived a normal life alongside his parents Lionel and Joyce Dahmer in a small house in the forest near Bath, Ohio. It was not until a minor surgery to treat a double hernia he had at the age of six that his behavior started to change. The surgery may have been minor, however the damage created disturbing changes within him. After the surgery he became more reclusive and

Animals are being mistreated by people not giving the right amount of food, water or housing, which is causing the animals to dehydrate or starve. Animals are also being mistreated by humans committing violence toward them. Some people leave their animals outside all winter long without proper shelter for them. Some even leave their animals in the 100 degree weather without fresh water every day or a shelter to be under when it’s too hot outside. That’s a sign of neglect because the animal is suffering from heat exhaustion.

Unfortunately today there are many cases of animal abuse happening around the world. Animal cruelty or animal abuse can be defined as the infliction of suffering or harm upon animals for purposes other than self-defense. There are many different types of abuse such as using animals for research, using animals for entertainment purposes, abandoning animals to shelters, and animal neglect. We need to raise awareness and find a solution to these issues. Animals are suffering and we need to help them.

This includes extreme animal abuse such as; dog fighting and cock fighting. Here the animal is denied basic necessities of care. This includes fresh water, food, and shelter. These animal also grow up living in an environment where they are not socialized so when they see other animals, they are trained to attack. Bait dogs are chained to tress left out in horrible conditions with no interaction with other animals. Bait dogs are basically a punching bag for fighting dogs. Dogs do not punch, but they do bite and tear. Dog fighters use bait dogs to let their fighting dogs practicing mutilating another dog, without being harmed in the process. How do the fighting dogs not get harmed in the process? Bait dogs usually have their mouths taped shut so they can’t fight back. The owners usually puts the bait dog in a pit, or ties them to a tree or pole so they can’t escape. Fighting dogs are trained to attack any other dog that comes across them. Their owner encourages them to attack, cheering them on when they hurt the bait dogs. Usually when attacking the bait dog, there are several dogs attacking the bait dog, encouraging competition because the dogs are already so aggressive.

Animal cruelty is defined as inflicting suffering or harm upon animals for purposes other than self-defense. A wide range of actions from animal neglect to violence against animals can be considered animal cruelty. Some people say that activities such as dog fighting, horse racing, and circuses cause animals to suffer, but many also say that there is nothing wrong with treating animals this way as long as they are treated humanely. Animals are put into captivity, into zoo’s, shows, and even circuses, but some still say that animals are doing what they were born and bred to do. People take advantage of animals and use them just to show off, and once they are useless to them, they just throw them out. Most owners do not realize that animals need care. Animals should have the same amount of rights as humans do.

Ever thought about why such people abuse animals and how they carry on their lives living with the guilt? According to the research I have read online, many have found that abusing animals will lead to abusing people since this act of violence on animals cooperates with the act of violence on the humans as well. So the real question is, do abusing animals lead to abusing humans? Abusing to animals physically or mentally are very negative actions that people should not do. Every day in the United States animals are beaten, neglected, or forced to struggle for survival. Left in critical conditions with no food or water, these poor animals have little hope as they live out their days to survive in such a harsh world. While some are found and rescued, and given a chance to experience how great life can become; others aren 't so lucky. From actual incidents, brutal people sometimes abused animals by monstrous intensive methods such as putting them in the microwave, throwing them of the balcony, dragging them with cars and etc. As the rate of animal cruelty is increased all over the world, there were many effects of it on these animal abusers as well. What can happen to these type of people is that even children who inflict cruelty on animals often also inflict cruelty on other people especially to other children, and also from my own personal experiences and actual studies, people who commit animals’ cruelty crimes

What causes animal abuse, what makes people to want to hurt these animals. According to the article
