Case Study

Abstract

Abstract The case study of Theodore Bundy compares his personal characteristics and criminal behavior with the contemporary violent sexual murder typologies. The Theodore (Ted) Bundy case study exemplifies violent sexual homicide offense characteristics. The case study will illustrate that Ted Bundy, as a single case, is the prototypical violent sexual murderer. Moreover, the Ted Bundy case study provides a unique validation of violent sexual homicide classification theories by presenting a best fit in the classifications described as predatory.
