Jeffery Dahmer
On a sad day in May of 1960 Jeffery Dahmer was born in Milwaukee Wisconsin. He was one of America’s most infamous serial killers. Other names attributed to him was the Milwaukee cannibal because he ate the flesh of his victims. At an early age, he began killing animals and put a severed head of a dog on a stake in his yard and a cemetery where he buried them. He also took animals that were killed on the road to dissect and study.
Jeffery Dahmer was molested by a neighbor boy when he was a young man and even though Dahmer denied this and refused to acknowledge it his father said never the less it was true. His family said he was never the same after a double hernia at the age of four. He was brought up on charges when …show more content…
Strain theory illustrates that Dahmer’s crimes could have come about because of a supposed consistency between materialistic goals and values he had with what was available to him by society, family or anything else that got in his way of accomplishing his deeds. The general theories of crime say that offenders are not disciplined and that their ties to social order are fragile and have a deficiency of self-control.
Some individuals have urges that they feel they do not have control over and what makes them do certain kinds of crimes. Dahmer was like this.

The individuals do not necessarily have a risky lifestyle or precipitate in a crime in any way but simply find themselves in a bad area and therefore put at risk for becoming victims (Argosy, 2016).
These victimology theories are based on Dahmer and his victims, where he found them in bars and perhaps walking down the street. He would lure them back to his place by saying he had drugs and or alcohol. He would then drug his victims and easily overcome them. He would kill them, molest their corpse, take pictures of them and eat them. Dahmer’s victims were all of similar type and most were young black men. Most were of small stature and just in the mood to go have fun with a friend. As we can see, most were willing to leave a public place and go home alone with him to party and take pictures. Most of the victims were of low economic status or loners so most were not known to be missing for some time (Argosy,
