Jeffrey Dahmer was a notorious American serial killer who murdered 17 young men and boys between 1978 and 1991. He was born in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, on May 21, 1960, and committed his first murder at 18. Dahmer was known for his shocking crimes, including cannibalism, necrophilia, and preserving body parts as souvenirs. He was arrested in 1991 after one of his intended victims managed to escape and alert the police. Dahmer was eventually sentenced to multiple terms of life in prison, where he was murdered by a fellow inmate in 1994. Despite the heinous nature of his crimes, Dahmer remains a topic of fascination for many due to the sheer brutality of his actions and the unanswered questions surrounding his motivations and mental state.

In this audiobook, you will read about Jeffrey Dahmer's life, murders, and psychosocial factors that contributed to the development of his criminal behavior:

  • Childhood trauma
  • Mental illness
  • Substance abuse
  • Social isolation
  • Sexual issues
  • It's important to remember that these factors are not excuses for Dahmer's actions but rather possible contributing factors to his criminal behavior.
