Type of Offender

Ted Bundy was a serial killer who repeatedly abducted and murdered young women both at night and during the day. Carbajal (2010), defines a serial killer as a person who repeatedly attacks and murders his or her victims in a number of incidents. Serial killers normally kill different innocent people for their personal satisfaction and they use strange methods to lure or capture their victims. There are different types of serial killers and they are categorized base on their motives of killing. For instance, a visionary serial killer is normally instructed by some voices to kill his or her victims. Missionary serial killers normally feel that they have a responsibility of getting rid of a certain group of people from the world. Another group of serial killers is lust killers who are normally attracted to kill due to sexual motivation. Thrill killers often murder their victims because they enjoy the experience of killing. Bundy was a lust killer who murdered his victims as a result of sexual motivation (Carbajal, 2010).

Ted Bundy possessed the unique characteristics presented by serial killers. According to Rippo (2007), approximately 89 percent of known serial killers are Caucasian males aged between 25 and 35 years. The IQ of serial killers often ranges from 105 to 120 or even more. For instance, Ted Bundy had an IQ of 140 which demonstrated that he was a highly intelligent serial killer. Some serial killers normally target a particular group of victims. In such a case, the objective of the serial killer is to eliminate the kind of group it is targeting. Ted Bundy only targeted young women as a way of expressing his anger and hatred towards this particular group of people. Majority of killers who murder their victims due to sexual motivation do so because they have some sort of sexual bondage. When Ted Bundy was interviewed, he stated that he was attracted to kidnap and kill young females because he was strongly addicted to pornography (Carbajal, 2010).

According to Carbajal (2010), many serial killers come from dysfunctional families where parents are either divorced or where parents completely abandoned their children. In most cases where parents are together, either of the parents may not express love for the child. Additionally, serial killers are known to have suffered either physical or sexual abuse at one time in life. Ted Bundy came from a dysfunctional family with his parents having separated when he was still very young. When his mother got married to the military man, Bundy did not receive parental love from his step-father and he even suffered depression because of neglect. Moreover, Bundy had suffered both sexual and physical abuse during his early years. All these factors contributed greatly to Bundy being a serial killer (Rippo, 2007).

Majority of serial killers are known to suffer from Antisocial Personality Disorder. People suffering from Antisocial Personality Disorder are known to exhibit good intelligence, impulsiveness, insincerity, and lack of guilt. Ted Bundy’s criminal activities were largely inclined to boredom and enjoyment, as well as impulsiveness.
