Victims Of Jack The Ripper Essay Research (стр. 2 из 2)

by investigators from eye witnesses, the victims that were last seen alone with

someone were last seen with a man. Also, since the victims were all prostitutes,

the killer was probably a man who acted like he was interested in what they had

to offer, then caught them off guard to perform his gruesome task. This man was

probably a loner, or very prominent and had freedom to move about unquestioned.

He was also probably a local man who had lived in the area for quite a while,

and was very familiar with the alleys and streets, which would explain why he

was able to flee from the murder scene of Elizabeth Stride. One theory of what

his motives were for the murders was that perhaps he was a customer of

prostitution and happened to become infected with a disease, so decided to have

his revenge by violently murdering a handful of prostitutes. Another theory was

that maybe he was taking revenge for a family member who was in a similar

situation, or that he came from the same situation as some of the children of

the prostitutes and was also left by his mother who ended up as a prostitute. Or

maybe he just felt that he was merely cleansing society and doing it a favor by

killing off a handful of people who he felt were scum who corrupted society. The

ideal profile of Jack the Ripper was a single man, probably a doctor, who had

bad experiences with prostitutes in the past, and had lived in London long

enough to become familiar with it?s streets and alleys. He was obviously very

daring and nerveless to commit such crimes in the streets, because he could have

been caught at any time by anyone who happened to be passing by.
