Jeffrey Dahmer was an American serial killer and sex offender active in the late 20th century. Between 1978 and 1991, he murdered 17 young men and boys, often luring victims, then engaging in acts of sexual assault, dismemberment, and necrophilia. His crimes gained notoriety due to their brutal nature and Dahmer’s ability to evade detection for years. He was arrested in 1991, convicted, and sentenced to life in prison. Dahmer was murdered by a fellow inmate in 1994. His case raised awareness about mental health issues, criminal psychology, and societal responses to violent crime.
