Jeffrey Dahmer

After watching the A&E biography of Jeffrey Dahmer

  • Type an MLA formatted essay in reaction to the biography that was just shown to you in class. Include your opinion of WHAT YOU feel went wrong with Jeffrey in his childhood which might have impacted who he became as an adult.

  • WHY do you believe the authorities did not catch him the times they had stopped him for OTHER illegal acts?

  • When it comes to "Tests of Insanity" which one that we have discussed in the class notes and text would YOU apply to this situation? Explain in detail.

  • How did Jeffrey Dahmer think he could get away with it?

  • PUNISHMENT: If you were the judge decideing this case what type of punishment would you have given to the defendant.

  • ANYTHING THAT YOU FOUND WORTHY OF DISCUSSING FROM THE BIOGRAPHY VIDEO THAT YOU WATCHED IN CLASS SHOULD BE EXPANDED UPON IN YOUR ESSAY!!

  • SEE ATTACHED RUBRIC. THAT IS WHAT WILL BE USED FOR YOUR GRADE. COUNTS AS A TEST GRADE!!!

Have fun with this and I look forward to reading your responses.
