Is the role of deviant sexual fantasy related to the types of sexual offence committed by Ted Bundy? Draw upon underlying theory in your answer. (9)

QUOTATION BY UNKNOWN OWNER

 

9 Conclusion

The present case study illustrated the role of high risk sexual fantasies in Ted Bundy’s case.  Although his fantasies played an important role in terms of selecting a victim, planning an offence and, nevertheless, coping mechanism, other factors, such as psychopathy, pornography, sexual sadism, compulsion to kill and victims’ availability are as well important in order to explain Bundy’s case. However, I acknowledge that a second data analysis of this kind is eventually biased as it does not allow for a clear understanding of Bundy’s life due to the large number of controversial biographies that have been published after his execution. Moreover, the present paper is limited as it does not specify to exact degree to which Bundy’s fantasies and the other factors contributed to his crimes or if they did it at all. Perhaps, we should give credit to Bundy’s perspective on his crimes: “Society wants to believe it can identify evil people, or bad, or harmful people, but it’s not practical. There are no stereotypes. The thing is that some people are just less psychologically ready for failure than others.” (Deseret News, 1989, pp. 3).
