    Jeffrey was not very popular in high school. He played the clarinet, tennis, and wrote for the school paper. He also had a history of alcohol abuse, which will continue for the rest of life. A classmate recalls Jeffrey drinking cups of scotch at his desk. Though unpopular, he was known for a lot of pranks including bleating like a sheep, shouting out things at strange times, and faking epileptic fits. In addition around age fourteen, his compulsions in regard to necrophilia and murder began. Dahmer claims that, “around age fourteen or fifteen, I started to have obsessive thoughts of violence intermingled with sex.” Throughout high school, he continued to collect dead animals. Jeffrey remembers in ninth grade during a biology class, “…we had the usual dissection of a fetal pig. I took that ham and kept the skeleton and I just started branching out to dogs,…

    Most crimes that are committed during the normal daily activities of people’s lives is indicative of the Routine Activities Theory that gives insight onto how Jeffrey Dahmer was so successful in luring, raping, and murdering unsuspecting men from the local gay nightclubs in Milwaukee. Jeffrey Dahmer had willingness and the ability to commit such heinous predatory crimes. He was motivated by a strong sexual desire for sexual gratification that deviated from the norm, evident by his method of killings and the amount of times these acts occurred. Dahmer never used aggression in the commission of his crimes but rather a method of attack that would con his victims into lowering their guard making them main targets for him. Dahmer’s primary targets were drifters, locals, and prostitutes often exchanging alcohol and money for sexual favors. This can be the sole reason why so many men became Dahmer’s victim because he targeted individuals who would voluntarily leave with him. As stated in the biography Dahmer’s hot-spot for possible targets revolved around the gay-night clubs depicted in the film catered to Dahmer’s sexual preferences. Typically in the night-club scenario possible targets for violence are typically females making males not likely to be subjective to violence and as an onlooker in a club setting it is difficult to differentiate the victim from the assailant in a gay male couple. Dahmer’s character towards his victims was very routine and cunning making his victims typically prostitutes and locals susceptible to his method of persuasion. His targets were individuals who were easily persuaded by money and their non-awareness towards a possible harmful target made them even more likely to become one of his many victims. It is reasonable to infer that an individual could have decreased their chances of victimization if they were more self- conscious and aware of the situation they were putting themselves into and not so trustworthy of a complete stranger.…

He was a quiet kid in school. He did however have a few friends. (Wiki) These friends have told people over the years that Dahmer collected large insects, dragon flies, and butterflies which he placed inside jars. (Wiki) Some friends even stated that they would pick up carcasses from the side on the road, and Dahmer would take them apart at home to see how they fit back together. (Wiki) His father thinks the fascination started around 4 when he was digging up animal bones from under the house. He states he was “oddly thrilled”. (Wiki) In 1970, over a family meal of chicken, Dahmer asked his father what would happen if the chicken bones were to be placed in bleach. (Wiki) His father being a chemist decided Dahmer was going to have a scientist mind and taught him the safe usage. (Wiki)…

    So what happened to Jeffery? I feel that the biological theory does not take part in the role of crime and why it happens because, you are in charge of your own mind (sometimes not the case such as insanity). If your parents are serial killers, that does not mean that you will be a serial killer and with the case of Jeffery Dahmer his parents were normal but he wasn't.…
