Ted Bundy Abbie Springer Serial killer, not really a phrase that pops into your head when you think about the “hippy” era of the 1970’s, when everything was laid back, all about happiness, and peace. Ted Bundy managed to disrupt these ideals and change ever so slightly the way people remembered a time once so focused on world peace. Ted Bundy who was he, what was his childhood like, what were his interest, and what lead him to purse these horrid acts? These are all the things you need to learn to try and understand when it comes to understanding killers and their motives. Bundy was born November 24th, 1946 in Burlington, Vermont to a woman who was so embarrassed of him he grew up calling her his sister. One example of this in relation to Bundy’s case is how it allowed him to apply for an appeal over and over again. There was fairness in his trails by moving the trail location, by moving the location it gave Bundy a fail trial with an impartial jury. Also, with the theory of the X or Y model you could say that Bundy could have had an extra X chromosome since he was a person who lived in a life of crime and had an uncontrollable urge to keep killing, but you can’t exactly confirm that the theory is right since it’s never been proven to be 100% true, hence the term to why its called a A man who thought he was going to get away with it all got what he deserved. It may have taken a long time for justice to be served, but when that day came the people felt joy and happiness. Though many wish he got worse he was officially gone and no more harm could be done.

  • Justice Served in Lufthansa Heist

    1884 Words  | 4 Pages

    Justice was served after 36 years when the FBI finally tracked down the masterminds behind the biggest bank robbery in New York's history, the Lufthansa Heist. The FBI believes that this is a lesson to be learned for the thousands of criminals today. No matter how long, even decades, like the Lufthansa Heist, you will be found and your time will be served. Even though the mobsters were captured, the man who thought of the entire scheme, James Burke, still carried out plans to continue their "business" in recent months of the year. There were many different assets to this very critical plan that the crime family had prepared for, but they did not know that sooner or later they were going to get caught.

    Ted's family knew there was something wrong with him ever since he was a baby. His mother said that he had strange lapses as a child where he would go silent and still. As he got older the "shut-downs" (as they became known as by his family,) started to be accompanied with rage. He never fit in with anybody his own age. For instance, when Ted was 10 years old, his father tried taking him to a boyscout meeting but Ted would not have anything to do with the other children, so his father gave up. The only thing Ted liked doing was reading and playing his trombone. Ted proved to be very smart and at the young age of 15 years, was given a scholarship to study Greek tragedy for the summer at the University of Chicago. Ted went to Harvard and graduated with a degree in Mathematics, when he was 20 years old. Ted was then offered a tenured-track job at the University of California and taught there until his abrupt resignation in 1969. His family knew nothing of his resignation until he showed up at his parents house to move in. Ted stayed with his parents for two years and during that time he had many low paying jobs, the first being a gardener at the local mall. In 1971, Ted's parents woke up to find Ted gone and only a note thanking them for letting him stay with them. The note was so short and to the point that his father thought that it he was going to commit suicide.

    Known by many as the Unabomber, Theodore John "Ted" Kaczynski was born on May 22, 1942, in Chicago Illinois. According to Paul Ferguson in his article “Ted Kaczynski: Evil Man, or Tortured Soul?” featured on CNN, as a toddler, Kaczynski spent much of his time in the hospital when he was diagnosed with an allergic reaction that caused him to have Hives all over his body. According to Ferguson, hospital staff who photographed Ted stated that he looked terrorized. In their article “An Adlerian Analysis of the Unabomber,” Amy M. Leeper and her colleagues at the University of Texas explain that Ted’s “childhood was spent largely with his mother, who devoted all of her time to the education and care of her two sons”(169-70). In their article “Tracking down the Unabomber” Nancy Gibbs and Sam Allis suggest that Ted had the mind of a genius. According to “…...

    The one good thing that I believe comes from this case is that it educated America on the mistakes being made by a law enforcement entity. The attitudes portrayed by these officers are terrible and, regretfully, most likely common. What it did was wake us up by showing us how biased criminal investigations can be and that bigotry has no place in the criminal justice system.

  • Ted Bundy Criminology Theory

    1059 Words  | 3 Pages

    Another criminology theory that may apply to help explain the criminal behavior of Ted Bundy is the Psychodynamic theory. This theory is largely based on the findings of Sigmund Freud. The underpinnings of this of the approach are that the unconscious mind affects behavior and emotion. The theory advances the argument that no behavior is without cause and that childhood experiences affect emotions and behavior as adults. Serial killers like Ted Bundy therefore are particularly affected by their unconscious mind. Bundy did not receive proper care as a young boy and the negative impact of his sense of rejection and isolation negatively impacted his adulthood with aggressive tendencies. In short, Bundy’s adult actions under this theory can be viewed as manifesting his anger over his childhood oppression in the form of brutal rapes and

    Upon execution of his criminal acts, Bundy often visited the secondary scene of crime where he performed sexual acts with the decomposing bodies of the victims until destruction by wild animals or decomposition made further interaction with the bodies impossible. In addition to these criminal acts, Bundy decapitated heads of some of his victims and kept their heads in his residence for a period of time as mementos (Rule, 2009). The cases involving Bundy and his victims are cases of murder, rape, necrophile and kidnapping. These are capital offences that were well planned and executed by the perpetuator who made subsequent follow-ups of his criminal acts by visiting the secondary scene of crime.
