Bundy's victims were able to trust him, as he was a very charming man (on the outside)! But once he was able to take control of them with his charm, he could easily grab, rape, and slaughter them in mere minutes. This gave Bundy the ability to commit his crimes the way he did. He was able to manipulate and trick women into thinking he was someone of high authority, or a hardworking university student.

Labeling theory: What gave Bundy such an advantage was that he was a very intelligible and charming man that no one would suspect him of being a murderer. Because he was given an assumed label of a hardworking, kind white American, he took advantage of this to trick his victims based off of looks. This way, his label was contradicting who he really was.

Bundy served both a positive and negative function for society. His positive impact was that he was a very intelligent, hardworking man, who was very good looking and seemed a friendly stranger to his victims. His negative function was that he would murder, rape, and slaughter his victims across the country, causing them to go missing and making their families worry about where they are.

Strain theory: I believe that Ted Bundy best fits innovation in strain theory because he believed in the goal of success (in this case, being able to successfully murder 36+ women across the country) but didn't meet society's goals of a "normal" way to achieve them. The way he "innovated" was creating different scenarios to murder his victims in.

Bundy in 1974 moved to Utah to attend college there and continue his crimes, but he was arrested by police for possession of weapons. He was then arrested in 1975 for the kidnapping of Carol DaRonch, who managed to escape from him. He was sentenced 15 years in prison until it was found that he had murder charges for a Colorado woman. He managed to jump out the window at the trial but was caught 8 days later. He escaped from custody again in 1977 and made his way to Tallahassee in Florida. He continued his killings but was then convicted again in 1979. After fighting for his rights for 10 years, he was sentenced to death at the Florida State Prison by electric chair. He admitted to 36 killings but some estimate 100.

As a result of his deviance, he would often try to manipulate women and pretend to be a figure of authority to gain their trust before assaulting and raping them in very secluded locations. He would also visit his previous crime scenes and perform sexual acts with his dead victims. He would decapitate his victims heads and keep them as souvenirs in his house.  He knew he could take advantage of women like this because he worked among a police officer named Ann Rule, who saw him as kind and empathetic. In his college years he started to start skipping classes and abruptly ended his relationship with Stephanie Brooks, his girlfriend of the time. He would tell various people about his crimes and what he did, but there was no actual known date to when he started killing women. From 1969 to 1973 various people in New Jersey, Philadelphia, and Washington began to disappear His earliest documented homicides were committed in 1974, when the strangest occurrence was happening---women from universities and colleges across America were raped and murdered, all by Bundy.

Born November 24th, 1946, in Burlington, Vermont, Ted Bundy was connected to at least 36 different murders in several states. He was known for his charm and demeanor as well as his superior intelligence.
Bundy's mother, Eleanor Cowell, had deeply religious parents and his birth was shameful because of Cowell's young age (22). He believed that his mother was his sister and had a strong resentment towards her, but had a relatively normal, privileged childhood. He had a fascination with knifes as a child, and in his teenage years, he would frequently peer into strangers' windows.
He was also fascinated with crime magazines, especially ones that involved sexual violence, with hyper-realistic pictures depicting dead, distorted bodies.
