In modern society, sexual disorders such as pedofelia, necrofelia, sado-machoism, and compulsive cannibalism are often viewed as a sickness. But because these disorders aren't diseases, people who are suffering from them go to prison instead of a medical hospital. Dahmer should've gone to a mental hospital rather than prison. Yes he knew right from wrong, but sometimes a disorder such as OCD cannot be controlled, even if your mind knows something is wrong. These are compulsions, and should be treated like other psycological disorders such as schitzophrenia. Just because Dahmer didn't hear a voice or see delusions, he was still sick enough to be treated in a mental institution. thoughts?
