the killer and I have based my assumptions on the profile(s). Having examined the case of the Son of Sam, David Berkowitz and the case of Jack the Ripper, I have found several similarities (in no particular order), as follows: a) David Berkowitz grew up with an absent father and Jack the Ripper is likely to have experienced this also; b) David Berkowitz became paranoid that people were looking at him and didn’t like him. It was possible that Jack the ripper had a deformity so could have experienced similar behaviour from others; c) David Berkowitz caught a STD from a prostitute whilst in the army. Jack the Ripper had a fascination with prostitutes; d) David Berkowitz had a job as a taxi driver which would have given him familiarity with the

a.) “He was two years younger than I was, but he was about fifty more times intelligent” (38).
B. You won’t be alone when you come to the staggering conclusion, that the CIA played a lead role in the death of our 35th President
B. A homeless man who goes by the name of “Red” says that shelters are very unsafe. While in a shelter he once was stabbed and robbed for his sneakers. He says he rather ride the trains all night before he stays in another shelter.
B. Many people don’t know the great impact on society that Robinson generated in the 20th century.
In the Victorian Era, there were many criminals. The Victorian Era played host to a number of unusual figures, not to forget brutal murderers. It is said that during this time period, crime and mortality rates saw a spike, making the streets of Britain unsafe to say the least. Louis James said, “crime was the best seller”. Victorians had begun to think that their criminal policies had failed, and that crimes were, despite the annual publication of criminal statistics that indicated otherwise, increasing (“Common Misperceptions: The Press and Victorian Views of Crime”). One of those notorious criminals to suggest the increase was Jack the Ripper. Renowned for his mysterious killings, Jack the Ripper was never caught for his crimes. At the time of his murders he left behind nothing, not even a slither of a trace which coupled with a lack of today’s technology made it increasingly difficult for
Jack the Ripper is one of the most well-known serial killers of the ages. Although everyone knows the name, “Jack the Ripper,” nobody really knows of his true identity. When the murder victims were found the press and the detectives could never put a name with the crime.
In 1888 through 1991 there were several murders on the eastside of London where the Whitechapel section was located. All of the women murdered at the Whitechapel were prostitutes. Being the first serial murder that nobody has captured and nobody knew his name but everybody knew him by his nickname as “Jack The Ripper.”
Initially, I would determine the biological profile. By figuring out the victim’s biological profile I would find out the sex, age, height, and race. According to Jerry Melbye in the article,“What is Forensic Anthropology?” by R.U. Steinberg forensic anthropologists
Jack the Ripper is a popular name of an unknown killer who terrorized London between August and November, of 1888. Jack the Ripper is one of the most popular serial killers known today. There are almost as many books and scripts written about him than Adolph Hitler. The mystery of this Whitechapel murderer still lives on today.
Serial killers have long held morbid intrigue for many people, but none so much as Jack the Ripper, a London murderer from the late 1880’s. By historical standards, Jack the Ripper was not particularly prolific; he had five victims, in stark contrast to a murderer like Countess Elizabeth Bathory, who had over 650 victims, but unlike Elizabeth Bathory, Jack the Ripper was never given a name. Today, with technology and forensic knowledge we possess, will we be able to name the infamous assassin?
...eport” are disregarded and destroyed the instant they occur. Despite working for Precrime for a long time, Anderton was shocked to know that such important information was not told. Since there are times when there is a “minority report” the outcome of a prediction of a future murder is rather uncertain. Even if there is a small possibility of a “minority report” there could still be a possibility that the perpetrator or murderer would not commit the murder attempt.

Historically, crime and criminals have always caught the attention of law-abiding citizens. Whenever there is mention of serial killers or unsolved murders or abductions, psychological profiling, now a household term, floats to the top of the list of concerns (Egger, 1999). Psychological profiling is an attempt to provide investigators with more information about an offender who has not yet been identified (Egger, 1999). Its purpose is to develop a behavioral composite that combines both sociological and psychological assessment of the would-be offender. It is generally based on the premise that an accurate analysis and interpretation of the crime scene and other locations related to the crime can indicate the type of person who could have committed the crime (Egger, 1999).
