Nobody knew what the murderers motive was or who he was. The article is stereotypical, the
evidence and criticism about the police is typical, showing no proof or specific relevance to the
particular Ripper case. Here is some evidence of some of the bodies that were mutilated. The history
of Whitechapel was rather bad as it was known well for having a bad background and environment
becoming a criminal. There were no bruises found at the back of the heads of the victims, indicating
that the bodies were lowered to the ground rather than having been thrown or been left to fall. If
Jack the Ripper was here now, in modern day London and did the same thing, we could be sure that
he would’ve been caught in a few weeks, or even days. I think that the evidence of source C support
the evidence of source A and B about the Jack the Ripper murders. But the downside of having a
reward is that people will be over motivated and will give incorrect information to the police which
leads to time wasting. This suggests that the police did not take interest however; the journalist could
just be blaming the police so the source is unreliable. A quote from source A sums up the struggles of
the people living in the East End, “The poorest of the poor”. Source G is part of a letter from the
Home Secretary to the Mile End Vigilance Committee. Both sources have strengths and weaknesses,
for example, in Source D the person has actually seen the murderer and the police acted on the
information given, while Source E suggests that the police weren't looking for the killer, this was
written in a local newspaper so it could be biased. This quote also shows how careless the police
were in monitoring the public. In fact, to reduce them to only those with a genuine claim having been
nominated by contemporary police officers, we are left with a mere four. They are. The status of this
correspondence is still being discussed by modern historians. This demonstrates the thoroughness of
the investigation. The prostitute, Elizabeth Long, makes assumption instead of being sure of what
she saw. The problems were that none of the murder scenes showed any evidence to show who
might be the criminal. The elbow was bent, the forearm supine with the fingers clenched. In my
opinion, the article exaggerated the condition of Whitechapel to entertain the middle-class public.
Similarly source A also shows Tabram’s murder as violent, this emphasises the skill used in the
murders of Chapman and Stride. She also describes Jack the Ripper as “Having a dark complexion”.
Source A’s attempts to glamorise the murders bends the truth slightly, and doesn’t support the
evidence on Source C. Distractions such as the media did not help the police in any way except from
only piling on the problems that they already had. At first glance, violent crimes may appear to
produce a more plausible sense of fear in the community. Popular and lengthy inquests were held by
Coroner Wynne Baxter on the victims falling under his jurisdiction, which was the majority of them,
and he fuelled the press coverage to fever pitch. This helps to comprehend why it was easy for the
Ripper to get away. The case is still open however, in hopes of solving this mystery. People in
London again did not help the police as not very many people liked the police’s way of working. It
was the first time the media could make a lot of money from it, so they wrote stories or exaggerated
pictures for those who can’t read, which gave false information, which mislead the public.
The police also received letters from people stating that they were the one who had committed all of
the murders. Consequently the evidence is helpful as it unintentionally prevents the Ripper’s capture.
Source D is a description of Jack the Ripper, the description is very vague and not very clear, there
are lots of words like 'I think' in there. Lombroso theory, suggested that criminals had certain
physical features, a practice which may have been used lazily at the time. Unfortunately, the police
acted on these statements-which ultimately threw them off the course to finding the Ripper. He
targeted only the vulnerable and did his silent deeds only in the darkest, dirtiest places where he
knew he was not to be caught. It focuses on the deaths of Polly Nicholls and Annie Chapman
around a month after Chapman was murdered. This shows that it would be difficult to find someone
in these narrow, dark and crooked lanes and that it would be difficult keeping law and order in such
places. Therefore her evidence could not have been as reliable, and so they could not catch the
Ripper. Unless she had went close to him and closely examined his skin complexion. Therefore they
would not know to tell the police if they had seen or heard anything on the nights of the murders.
This suggests to the reader that the East End of London was not a very nice pace to live. Source C
was written by a well-educated doctor with no need to sensationalise facts. However, at the time the
murders were taking place, Dr. Thomas was in prison hence people believed that he had his look-
alike serve the prison sentence as he committed the madders (Buist). Source A is an article from the
newspaper describing the murders of Martha Tabram and Polly Nicholls. All sources H, J, I help us
answer this question because they show how easy it was for the ripper to get away and hide as fast
as he did in deep alley ways and in dark hidden locations. The use of chemistry to analyze soil
particles in a laboratory, for example, can give clues to the source of soil found at a crime scene and
can be useful material evidence in solving crimes. But the downside of having a reward is that people
will be over motivated and will give incorrect information to the police which leads to time wasting.
Some say that he had some medical background which made it all the more better for him. It is about
what kind skill or profession The Ripper is likely to have, however Source C is about injuries caused,
the appearance and the condition of the body of Elizabeth Stride. Source B doesn’t do this it is only
informative in a way that is justifying the skill the murderer had. This is why the police found it
difficult to catch the ripper as the technology wasn't good enough; the media created panic and the
area of Whitechapel was a difficult area to work in. Assistance was sent from the Central Office at
Scotland Yard, after the Nichols murder, in the persons of Detective Inspectors, Frederick George
Abberline, Henry Moore, and Walter Andrews, together with a team of subordinate officers. I think
that the evidence of source C support the evidence of source A and B about the Jack the Ripper
murders. Sources B and C agree with each other because they are both first hand primary evidence
from reports on the Ripper’s murders written by professionals. In all except the cases of Stride and
Mylett there was abdominal mutilation. The information also given on the leaflet was also that of
desperation. The name Jack the Ripper, came up after a letter addressed to the media from one who
claimed to be the killer hit the headlines. The notice expresses desperation and “earnestly” requested
people with information to come forward. With all the facts, it was no wonder how Jack the Ripper
escaped.
The left arm was close to the body with the forearm flexed at a right angle and lying across the
abdomen. However, they did endeavour some methods, which they believed would help catch the
Ripper. As well as this, Mrs Long said the man talking to Annie Chapman was dark complexioned
and looked like a foreigner. Some of these factors are the area and the technology of the time. Their
was no means of work except from prostitution which came in vast amounts, quality of
accommodation was poor. This possibly could have been because the streets of Whitechapel where
very dark at night because there were no streetlights at the time. On the contrary, even if it was a
butcher they could easily get away with it. She uses words like “I think”, “ as far as I could tell”, “I
cannot be sure” and “he seemed”. Therefore the police would take any evidence they could get very
seriously. Source C is the report of Dr. Fredrick Blackwell on the corpse of Elizabeth Stride. Several
theories came up to figure out who Jack the Ripper was. He had served for 25 years in the
Metropolitan Police Force and had spent most of that time in Whitechapel. As the East End Observer
is intended for public reading, and the articles are made as interesting as possible, we must bare in
mind that the descriptions of the killings may have been exaggerated. Also this suggests that the
killings may have been in hard to reach places for the police. A quote from source A sums up the
struggles of the people living in the East End, “The poorest of the poor”. By the fact that he ended
up in an asylum, it is evident that this person carried out the crimes while not stable mentally. This
got the public angry which lead to them have a bad relationship with the police. For example, poorest
of the poor, shows that the victims were vulnerable and, work of a demented being, would have got
many of the public curious to find out more about the case. The police did not offer a reward for
catching the Ripper because it would have attracted too much attention. Victims were extremely
poor which suggests they may be prostitutes proving the murders to seem irrational. Obvious
evidence was left behind at the fifth murder; however the police had the evidence destroyed as
quickly as possible. This helps to comprehend why it was easy for the Ripper to get away. A lot of
witnesses came forward but most of the information that they gave were vague, unreliable or
misleading. However some chose not to get involved as there was a lack of reward, so the people
thought it was safer not to. Phoney letters, lying witness and vigilantes were made up from the press
and public. The smog also made it very difficult to see especially during the night. Due to the media’s
involvement on this case, there was a lot of false lead and red herrings (distractions). So because of
the time, the murders happened in, the Ripper wouldn't have been caught. In other words, unless he
was caught red handed at the scene, there was no way to connect him with the victim. There are,
however, five universally accepted victims of Jack the Ripper, dubbed as the canonical five.
The Ripper was smart enough anyway to work out the difference between a prostitute and a person
dressing up as one. We use cookies to create the best experience for you. This created a public outcry
and wasted police time as the media was speculating who the ripper might be. This letter was written
to tell people to tell the police anything they might have known about Jack the Ripper. Although the
number of victims is unofficial, the number is thought to be around 5-7, all prostitutes within
Whitechapel Area in East London, murdered in 1888. Therefore the police would take any evidence
they could get very seriously. This because source B and C are official reports, so therefore must be
true as they are written by people who have no real reason to give false evidence. This method was
used to warn people of the murders and to get information from the people, about the murderer. Jack
the Ripper History Coursework By Chris Rowland ) Study Source A What can you learn from
source A about the murders of Polly Nicholls and Martha Tabram. The words “Demented” and
“Extrodianry Violence” were used in soruce A whereas more formal and factual statements were
used in Sources B and C such as “Considerable anatomical skill”. Source D showed that no one
knew very much about Jack the Ripper and although people claimed that they knew who Jack the
Ripper was, there were very few eyewitness accounts. She uses words like “I think”, “ as far as I
could tell”, “I cannot be sure” and “he seemed”. Similarly source A also shows Tabram’s murder as
violent, this emphasises the skill used. This would have been given to people who leaved around
Whitechaple. Then came the first murder.” And source H, “All the police can hope is that some
accidental circumstance will lead to a trace which maybe followed to a successful conclusion.” All
these three sources suggest that the media are trying to make a mockery of the police and they are
also suggesting that the police force might as well not exist because they are not doing their jobs.
Every one of these murders remained unsolved; no person was ever convicted of any of them. The
graphic images conjured up in many people minds made them complain to the government, this
brought about the constant changing of police officers, this halted the police's progress. Elizabeth
Stride murder was thought to have been interrupted. If I would have been a serial murderer of this
time I would thing it would be stupid to commit these crimes in your hometown, as you were more
likely to be caught. He had served for 25 years in the Metropolitan Police Force and had spent most
of that time in Whitechapel. The leaflet is also asking for possible witnesses or suspects to come
forward and give any information about the murders. Almost certainly the one single reason for the
enduring appeal of this rather sordid series of prostitute murders is the name Jack the Ripper. Sailors
on Thames’ river boats were also questioned. They could have done some things much better, but
you have to remember this was there first time. Despite a large number of theories, it was impossible
to unmask the most notorious criminal in Britain’s history concerning any idea. The problem with
source D and most of the description of the Ripper is very vague, she often. One way was that police
appealed to the public by posting leaflets in peoples houses. The police did not offer a reward for
catching the Ripper because it would have attracted too much attention. He then says that his
informant was referred from one police officer to another without making an impression, this
suggests that the police aren't interested in the murders. That might have been caused by a blow
from a fist or pressure from a thumb.

KatePerry 3.30 95 reviews Not the right resource. She also describes Jack the Ripper as “Having a
dark complexion”. How useful are Sources D and E in helping you to understand why the Ripper
was able to avoid capture. It also shows another method the police may have used to catch the ripper
but obviously it wasn’t used. What is obvious is the fact that the police were at no stage in a position
to prove a case against anyone, and it is highly unlikely a positive case will ever be proved. I don’t
think Jack the Ripper could’ve got away if we had DNA or blood typing, no matter how smart (or
mad) he was and with no forensic science, they couldn’t pin it on anyone. Kosminski, a poor Polish
Jew resident in Whitechapel. This created a public outcry and wasted police time as the media was
speculating who the ripper might be. Although there are many similarities between source A and C,
the way. Another way, which was frequently used, was the use of bloodhounds. Reinforcements
were drafted into the area to supplement the local men. There was a lack of information for the
police to use but the information they did have they wasn't used properly, like the descriptions after
the death of Annie Chapman, which was disregarded just because their times didn't correspond with
the time of the coroners time of death. Source F is a leaflet published after the murders of Elizabeth
Stride and Kate Eddowes. At the hype was the time that the panic was at its height and the
dishonour of the murders was becoming international, appearing in newspapers from Europe to the
Americas. This caused confusion to the police because they did not know when it was real and when
it was a bunch of people writing in for a laugh. It gives the impression that the Ripper was able to
avoid capture because of the because of the lack of witnesses. Therefore, even if someone did have
information they would probably not like the idea of going to the Bobby, as they may have felt
threatened. Also, if the people of the town were not so bothered about getting a reward they could
have helped the police to find Jack the Ripper. There was a circular bruise on the left side of the face
which also might have been inflicted by the pressure of the fingers. The presses, especially the
nascent tabloid papers, were having a field day. The false information could be because the HS was
isolating itself from poor practice, or the police force was violating the HS’ laws. People in London
again did not help the police as not very many people liked the police’s way of working. After the
two murders on the 30 th September, the number of police patrols increased even more. She also may
have wanted to mislead the police, whatever her reasons for giving this statement she wasted her
time and police time, but maybe in the polices eyes she was doing them a favor, because this was the
clearest description they had got in the investigations to find the ripper. It is about what kind skill or
profession The Ripper is likely to have, however Source C is about injuries caused, the appearance
and the condition of the body of Elizabeth Stride. If I would have been a serial murderer of this time
I would thing it would be stupid to commit these crimes in your hometown, as you were more likely
to be caught. Source A neither agrees nor disagrees on the fact that the murders were carried out by
someone who had the knowlage and skill to comit this type of murder. The time that was spent on
giving answers to the press could have been spent on finding the Ripper but the constant outbursts
from the media did not make it any better. He was at London during the time of the murders, he was
arrested on suspicion but was released because of lack of evidence, and the murders stopped when he
flee, that is if one only considers the canonical five.
By the time the murders came to an end in 1891, the proprietors of the Working Lads' Institute had
had enough of the noisy, unruly, proceedings and informed Baxter that he could find a different
venue for his next inquest. There are, however, five universally accepted victims of Jack the Ripper,
dubbed as the canonical five. Jack the Ripper is supposed to be a cunning and clever, in source H, as
he commit the crime without leaving a trace of evidence. The press were responsible for creating a
myth behind Jack the Ripper. Also this suggests that the killings may have been in hard to reach
places for the police. Whitechapel was homed to many foreigners and there would be many middle
classed people in the area as well. They wanted the public to think of the police as not doing their
jobs and they also made it seem that the police were backing off the ripper to see when the next
murder occurred. Our customer service team will review your report and will be in touch. ?3.00 (no

resource. Distractions such as the media did not help the police in any way except from only piling
on the problems that they already had. Newspapers in Victorian times wanted people to buy them so
they exaggerated stories and maybe even exaggerated the article used in source E. Newspaper are
known for twisting the truth in order to tell a story. This was very important in the history of
Whitechapel. Jack the Ripper is the best-known name given to an unidentified serial killer who was.
Despite this, Whitechapel was a congested, crime filled area, as is shown in source I, this added
further difficultly for the police, as it was uneasy to draw conclusions. She uses phrases such as “I
think”, “As far as I could tell.” All of this evidence being given by Elizabeth Long shows that she is
not been sure of herself and most of the time while giving evidence she contradicts herself. They
could have tried to prevent drunks aimlessly roaming the streets and tried to prevent the overall
crime rate. If they had worked together, they would’ve had a bigger chance to catch the Ripper.
Police officers had to work long and hard, around14 hours a day, 7 days a week which resulted in
tired police officers, and several were under the influence of alcohol. Elizabeth Long claims that she
saw Annie Chapman talking to a dark complexioned man at 5:30. Source C is a report of Dr. Fredrick
Blackwell on the body of Elizabeth Stride. Unfortunately, some of the evidence given by the
witnesses was very anti- Semitic and suggested the ripper was foreign or Jewish- taking the police
off the trail. This is why in Source F, they asked for people to come forward and give information
about the murderer. Maybe such a man could also have enough knowledge to be able to out wit the
police. Write a review Update existing review Submit review Cancel It's good to leave some
feedback. Assistance was sent from the Central Office at Scotland Yard, after the Nichols murder, in
the persons of Detective Inspectors, Frederick George Abberline, Henry Moore, and Walter
Andrews, together with a team of subordinate officers. The police had only had a basic training and
law and enforcement had only started to come into action. However source B makes links with
evidence and suspicions, while C focuses on the physical evidence. Source B doesn’t do this it is only
informative in a way that is justifying the skill the murderer had. They are slightly more useful
together as they combine the factors offering Ripper’s success, where indecisive witness accounts are
often misleading, causing more problems in the already poor police force. The problems were that
none of the murder scenes showed any evidence to show who might be the criminal.
