Law provides society with a legal system that allows individuals to think about morality and ethical situations; the concept of morality resonates with me and it is this passion that inspires me to continue studying law to degree level. Completing further reading about major offences and crimes has enabled me to develop an insight to how law operates in the UK as well as the penalties criminals face. A particular case that captivated me was of the serial killer, Ted Bundy known to be in the top 10 most intelligent serial killers. This is because he covered approximately 36 murders in which he was convicted later and received a death sentence. Following my study of this case I realised my passion lies in being able to defend victims and assist individuals who require legal help.

Poverty is the extent to which an individual does without resources. These resources can be financial, emotional, mental, relational, knowledge of hidden rules, and spiritual. In order to for a person to leave poverty, it is necessary that the individual can be confronted and concern with his current state of life. Flannery O Connor gives us a good example of how poverty (or lack of resources) affects the humans’ decisions. In her story Parker´s Back, Flannery O Connor uses the theme of “poverty” by the description and mannerism of her characters, but also by using a casual-register story structure.

Emily Decius Sociology 361 Term Paper November 16, 2017 Of the many serial killers that have terrorized the nation throughout history, there are a few that stand out from the rest, one being Theodore Bundy. He became much more famous than others, and his story is rather interesting but has been constantly changed and promoted by the media. In total, it is estimated that Bundy murdered anywhere between 36 to 100+ victims, and there are still many bodies that have not been found (Sullivan, 2009). Bundy had always seemed to be a somewhat normal person through his younger years, and it seemed to most people like he would be successful in life (Sullivan, 2009). He excelled in school, attended college, and at one point even enrolled in law school (Sullivan, 2009).

Additionally, I aspire to obtain my law degree because I feel it is my duty as a fellow wrongfully convicted and exonerated individual to help and defend others who are dealing with those same mental, emotional, and physical struggles I endured. I also want to assist others with the difficult transition period that ensues once they are released and to instill the attitude of determination to not accept the word “NO” as the result of the labels placed upon them as the result of a wrongful conviction. As Bryan Stevenson, keynote speaker at this year’s convocation ceremony, mentions in his book Just Mercy a vital lesson he learned “Each of us is more than the worst thing we’ve ever done” or been accused of.

The application of psychology has historically enhanced the functioning of numerous domains within contemporary society Constructing a concrete profile of a serial killer is arguably difficult, as there are many types of serial murderers (Lester, 1995, p. 186). However, the general consensus suggests that a serial killer can be defined as an individual who commits three or more murders in three separate events (Egger, 2002, p. 5; Ressler and Shachtman, 1992, p. 7). Since the early part of the century, the gulf between the disciplines of psychology and law has narrowed, and productive links have been identified (Kapardis, 2009, p. 17). For example, classifying serial offenders is often done using the organized/disorganized dichotomy which was
