Jack the Ripper was a notorious serial killer in the Whitechapel district of London’s East End who brutally mutilated and murdered at least five prostitutes from August 31st to November 9th 1888. All of the murders took place within a mile of each other and still keep investigators questioning who Jack the Ripper truly was.

Over the years there have been many suspects for Jack the Ripper including the famous Victorian painter Walter Sickert and even the grandson of Queen Victoria. Overall more than 100 suspects have been named since 1888. During the 1880s prostitution was legal so long as it didn’t cause a public disturbance. Therefore Prostitutes were extremely easy to get hold of as there were many brothels and low-rent lodging houses which provided sexual services. Once Jack the Ripper had chosen his victims he would bring them to a dark back street and mutilate their bodies. He removed their organs and placed them beside their bodies or in different parts to where they originated from. This was to humiliate the women and portray his strong hatred for females in general. In 2011 British detective Trevor Marriott was denied access to uncensored documents by the Metropolitan Police. The reason for the documents being withheld was because they had ‘protected information about police informants’ (Bio., 2012). However this year, September 2014, author Russell Edwards believes he …show more content…

    Jack Ruby is the man who on the day following the assassination fatally shot Lee H. Oswald. The clear and obvious motive that is assumed, and that would be assumed had it been someone else who shot Oswald, was that Ruby was a left-wing pro-Castro socialist who was just so horribly distressed by the death of JFK that he took the law into his own hands and sought vengeance. However, those who thought that would be terribly wrong. Jack Ruby was a Dallas night club owner, as well as having many other business ventures. He had many ties to organized crime and was known to have friends in the Dallas Police Force, who likely helped in his release multiple times in his mile long criminal record, with most of those crimes being for liquor licence violations and other club ventures.

He should have heard something if he was in the same building. A gun shot is pretty loud and the sound HAD to have made it down 4 floors.

    All of Jack the Ripper's victims were prostitutes, and all but one were killed while soliciting customers on the street. In each instance, the victim's throat was cut, and the body was mutilated in a manner indicating that the murderer had at least some knowledge of human anatomy.

  • Media Impact On Women's Prostitution

    During the middle of the nineteenth century, social, economic, and cultural change interrupted traditional lifestyles and brought forth a new ideal for the meaning of success. As culture in America began to change, men were hungry for power and women were left with little opportunity to earn a wage that would allow them to live independently. Due to their lack of independence from their families and husbands, many women were often left to rely on their own bodies to make money through prostitution. Women’s prostitution was brought to new heights as more men entered cities in hopes of success, both economically and socially. In addition to men’s impact on prostitution, media such as “flash press” brought much attention to prostitution.
