1 Crime Scenes https://www.youtube.com/watch?v= 70RgRkiBwZY

2 Organized An organized crime scene indicates planning and premeditation on the part of the offender. – The crime scene shows signs that the offender maintained control of him or herself and the victim. – Often the victim is moved from the abduction area to another secluded area, and perhaps the body is then moved to still another area. – Furthermore, in an organized crime, the offender usually selects the victims according to some personal criteria.

3 Example The infamous serial killer Ted Bundy, for example, selected young, attractive women who were similar in appearance. He was successful in the abduction of these young women from highly visible areas, such as beaches, campuses, and ski lodges, indicating considerable planning and premeditation.

9 Disorganized Crime Scene A disorganized crime scene demonstrates that the offender very probably committed the crime without premeditation or planning. The crime scene indicators suggest that the individual acted on impulse, in rage, or under extreme excitement. The disorganized offender obtains the victim by chance, often without specific criteria in mind.

10 Example For example, Herbert Mullin of Santa Cruz, killed 14 people of varying types (e.g., an elderly man, a young girl, and a priest) over a 4-month period. Generally, the victim's body is found at the scene of the crime.
