Government is Irrational.

According to you? you didn't answer my question, how do you know that he had a happy childhood?

You're not one of those jerks that unless the person you are talking to personally did the research then all the research that has been conducted by professionals is invalidated are you?

Because that's just lame.

Psychologists and Criminal Profilers have looked under every rock in his life.

The end goal of so much study going into serial killers is a hope to identify individuals that are at risk before they start killing. Most serial killers exhibit a triad of symptoms as kids.

First, many of them had a head injury as a child. Second, a fascination with fire. Third, wetting the bed.

They usually have one domineering and abusive parent. Oddly enough several of them were humilated by their parents making them wear dresses in public at one point of their childhood.

Anyway, Jeffrey Dahmer didn't seem to match the usual profile. So the professionals really dug through his past to try and find out what they were missing. Turns out they couldn't find anything.

His childhood just didn't match the normal psychological or behavioral profile.
