    At about the same time as his first murder, Dahmer began drinking heavily. In 1979, after only one term at Ohio State University, he dropped out due to his alcoholism. His newly remarried father insisted that Dahmer enlist in the Army and he was soon posted in Germany. Jeffrey’s father assumed that the strict regulations of the army would ‘cure’ his son’s alcohol problem, but not even two years later the Army discharged him. Upon his return home, Dahmer unearthed Hicks’ remains and pulverized them with a hammer, then scattered them even more widely.…

    In 1994, Dahmer committed his first murder in Bath, Ohio, in 1978. A second murder followed in 1987, and during the next five years he killed another 15 boys and young men, who were for the most part poor and African American, Asian, or Latino. Although other serial murderers had claimed far more victims, Dahmer’s crimes were particularly horrifying, involving cannibalism and necrophilia. Jeffrey Dahmer was indicted on 17 murder charges (later reduced to 15) and after two weeks of trial, the court found Dahmer sane and guilty on all 15 counts. Jeffrey Dahmer was sentenced to 15 life terms or 957 years in prison.…

    It was a cold October night when I first heard of Fortunato’s case, I was very amused at the thought of someone doing something so unhuman to a person. I guess some people can’t control their actions, but then again those people belong in a mental institution. This case in particular was very peculiar because it had gone five years without being solved. It was about a week ago when our department heard about this case, it wasn’t long before the case landed on my hands. I am after all the best detective in this state something to be proud of course. Going out to the other side of the world to solve a case was something I had never done before but this case was overdue and someone had to do something to the aggressor in order to obtain justice.…

    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.…
