Part one
The Hickey's Trauma Control Model consists of early childhood trauma (sexual or
physical) and their families who have undergone divorces or deaths, as well as those who have
been ostracized at school, are relevant traumas according to Hickey has the potential to set
children up for deviant behavior later in life; the environment a child lives in (whether it is their
parents or society) is most important in determining whether homicidal behavior escalates. The
serial killer I am going to focus on today that fits into the Hickey's trauma control model is Ted
Bundy. When Bundy was a child he himself believed and told others how his childhood was
perfect and amazing. In general he seemed to never show his emotions very well. I believe that
when he was younger not knowing that his mother was going to abandon him after birth or him
believing that his mother was his sister could have been one of the factors to why he became a
serial killer but then again there's many other reasons. Another big reason was how when he
dated his first ex girlfriend and they broke up he admitted to wanting to get some sort of revenge.
We saw that he did have a type when going after his victims. We saw that his type was white
slim and with dark long hair. He was also very addicted to violent porn. We see that when he was
a child he used to get bullied and teased. There's many things that fit him into the description of
the hickey's trauma control model. He did have some psychological problems not only that but
he did create feelings of trauma when his first girlfriend rejected him because it led him to go
after women who reminded him of his very first ex-girlfriend. Bundy admitted to watching porn
but when looking for porn he said that he looked for more graphic and explicit material but it
was never enough to satisfy him.
Part two
The programs I plan to fund are schools or anything that has to do with children or kids
being involved and off the streets as well as Community violence intervention programs. These
programs will also be involved most closely and especially in areas where there is a lot of
violence and communities that are in poverty. The reason I tend to fund these programs is
because teens, even those who are barely going into their teens years are being recruited to be
part of gangs everyday and it's important to have childrens and teens to avoid committing crimes,
especially crimes that can lead them to being imprisoned without parole. Within these programs I
would maybe have some self defense classes such as korate, boxing, anything that can help them
learn how to defend themselves as well as learn. Creative arts in order for children to express
their emotions a bit more or even programs that help teens and adolescents to learn and get
experience on how to
