About this episode

This episode examines Jeffrey Dahmer's developmental background and the factors influencing his criminal behavior.

In Part 2 of our case study on Jeffrey Dahmer, we move beyond the timeline of the crimes and examine his developmental background. We look at his childhood, family dynamics, early behaviors, and periods of isolation to understand how his trajectory developed. From both a behavioral and psychological perspective, we assess what these factors may—and may not—tell us. Part 2 of 3.
