One event was when the FBI and Philippine police failed to communicate with one another after in a Philippines hotel the police captured Abdul Sheikh Murad and seized Ramzi Yousef’s laptop that contained plans to bomb major landmarks around the world, including the World Trade Center.

They did so by applying encryption around sensitive files (Lerner, 2012). Nevertheless, with the rapid advancements of IT, including computer-to-computer communication, breaking into other computer systems, also known as hacking, became widespread. In 1981, twenty-four year old, Ian Murphy demonstrated the government’s vulnerability. He hacked into several government databases, including the White House switchboard. At this time, computer crime laws, such as trespassing, fraud, and abuse were nonexistent.
Darren Beals article Violent Culture tells us how a young man learned to build a bomb from the internet.

Not likely.

He was then was sentenced to three death penalties in 1978 when Ted was recaptured and on January 24, 1989 at Railford prison in Starke, Florida Ted Bundy was executed in the electric chair. My opinion on this case was interesting yet disgusting but Ted Bundy was smart about how he attracted his victims.

Crime is one of the most socially costly potential outcomes for maltreatment. The link between child maltreatment and crime is all over the news. According to a CNN report, the Washington D.C. sniper, John Muhammad, “was regularly and severely beaten as a child by several relatives, including an uncle who beat another child to death...” (Malvo, 2004). As a child, the "Boston Strangler," Albert DeSalvo, was actually sold off as a slave by his alcoholic father (Scott, 2011). There have been a few studies done to link the effects of childhood maltreatment to crime with a result of little hard evidence.
