Product Information

This section of the book, or in any film or series about Jeffrey Dahmer always infuriates me, it's really pisses me off, I can't even imagine what the family members of the victims felt/still feel now about this now. I can't even imagine, the pain, anger, disgust or feeling of injustice the family members or friends of the victims of Jeffrey Dahmer must of felt at the time, or still feel now.

Admittedly I have never read this kind of book before so I did not really know what to expect and (currently) have no other true crime book to compare it to.

His crimes, were sexually motivated, they were also motivated by Jeffrey Dahmer feeling extreme loneliness, isolation, he wanted to have friends, companionship, he wanted to be loved. The results were surprising. Researchers found that criminal brains had reduced grey matter with decreased activity in the brain’s orbitofrontal cortex and anterior temporal lobes — the areas which control emotional processing and social cognition. Basically, the brain areas that regulate emotions and empathy toward others were damaged or weakened. The fact that his father had the intention to start fires, hurt people that hurt/bullied him says a lot about inherited genes, behaviour, nature versus nurture. True, one could read about this on Wikipedia, but I requested the book and although, I was hoping for more psychology, I wasn't disappointed.

Now it's time to look at Jeff himself. A manic mother, an absent father and an inquisitive mind, where did it all go wrong? Like any other baby, Jeff deserved love and to be nurtured but unfortunately that wasn't the case. He is similar to Dennis Nilsen he was also a necrophile, that murdered men due to being extremely lonely. His crimes were due to overwhelming loneliness, being a loner, misunderstood or possibly not accepted by other people for being gay, since his dad wouldn't have accepted him for who he was. He was living with his grandma for some time, until they became suspicious and cautious of where he was going, what he was doing while he was living there, eventually they asked him to leave. Additionally, Joyce needed constant reassurance and praise, ego stroking if you will. As the family had moved due to Lionel's job, Joyce felt like she wasn't Lionel's soul priority so she decided to take a walk on a winter's night, lie down in the snow and all in a night dress!

Although I feel that Joyce had a huge part to play in Jeffrey's toxic behaviour, I feel that his father Lionel, had even more of an impact. It all boils down to his parents are the reason he was the way he was-THEY WERE NOT FIT TO BE PARENTS AND SOMEONE SHOULD HAVE TRIED TO LEGALLY TAKE JEFF AWAY. His mother leaving him alone when he was 18 years old-She should have known that was wrong but again a real drama queen self-centered. Anyway, it’s all done now. Jeff is gone and hopefully to a better place-God does forgive we all know that. Its all clear was he did it. It overcertainly doesnt Need any selfloving narcisstic Psychiatrist to judge by opinion without unverständig! „. All intersting is said in the First 5 minutes of the Movie. Dharma said „There is an emptiness inside me. And After killing and disposing sbdy didnt give long lasting pleasure or any fullfillment. And i felt the compulsion to do that the next 3 years. Why did Lionel not listen to Jeff about his thoughts and feelings considering he saw that Jeff was having disturbing thoughts like he did? Why am I bringing this up? Because the author seems to have no problem accusing others of things of which he has no clue about. I'm just returning the favor.

A detective for the Milwaukee Police Department, Dennis Murphy was the primary investigator on the Dahmer case. Upon their first meeting, the confessed murderer told Murphy, “Why don’t you just shoot me now for what I did?” Lt. Kenneth Meuler His methodology, reasons for what he did & why he did it, his state of mind, the dark, violent fantasies he had since he was a child will always disturb, disgust & fascinate me. I hope all the victims’ families have healed and I hope that people who are parents will start taking the time to be with their kids spending quality time and teaching them how to be good people. I don’t condone what he did but I don’t consider him a monster either just a misunderstood person who had parents that were self-centered and not worthy to be parents of Jeff or any child. He was nearly caught, it’s with hindsight to wonder along with Berry-Dee, why he wasn’t. But the satisfaction comes in the end of the book, where we learn about his death. The prison vs mental insinuation case and why the rulling of that was so critical. Jeffrey Dahmer is one of the serial killers that I didn’t know too much about and this book was definitely a revelation. It takes you through from Dahmer being born right up to his death and a lot of the in between.The Unabomber" was Ted Kaczynski & he was a victim of the MK Ultra brutalizing psychological experiments programming/torture method of the CIA. I am in the outlier camp because I enjoyed (if that is the right word) this book. Yes, the prologue is a bit much it will rub many readers the wrong way. I wonder if some stopped reading there. I could see how one might want to put the book down at that point. I read on an I found the book to be interesting.
