Investigating Why the Police Were Unable to Catch Jack the Ripper I believe the most important reason why Jack the Ripper was so hard to catch was because of the lack of evidence. In those days they did not have as advanced technology as we have today for instance, we have forensics where we can tell from a strand of hair who that hair belongs to. In those days they were only just learning the significance of footprints to catching a villain. Another part to this is that Jack the Ripper was so random towards who he killed the police could not find a link between the murders except that they were all prostitutes, which did not really help, although prostitute murders were not terribly uncommon. The press coverage to the case didn’t help much as they had forced the police to investigate ‘Leather Apron’ and this wasted a significant amount of the police time which, if spent properly, may have allowed them to uncover more information needed to catch the Ripper.
How the Police Tried to Catch Jack the Ripper In the 1880s, the police were very different from the police of today. Their main propose was crime prevention and their methods their methods were very primitive Source F is a police leaflet, which was published after the murders of Elizabeth Stride and Kate Eddowes; it was written to aid the police in their investigation it was also written in a factual tone, it suggests that the police were appealing for any information regarding suspicious characters. Because of the timing of this leaflet shows the desperation faced by the police but for because of the many defects reasons the leaflet was not successful: The first being that they did not offer any description of the murderer at all, 'person to whom suspicion was attached'. The second being that they still assumed that the person was living in Whitechapel, when there was a large amount of evidence suggested that the murderer wasn't from Whitechapel (the fact that the murders were all done on the weekends or on Friday nights, which suggests that he had a job and came into Whitechapel to murder).

If someone were to ask “Who was England’s First Serial Killer,” the name that would more than likely come to mind would be that of a man known to many as “Jack the Ripper,” but was he truly the first? No. There were many more that came before him—they have just been forgotten. They weren’t as glamorous as him. They weren’t known for murdering prostitutes, mocking the police by sending internal organs in the mail, or slashing open arteries. There
Mary Ann “Polly'; Nichols, aged 42, was the first of the Ripper victims, according to dedicated Ripperologists. Her body was found on Buck’s Row by a patrolling constable at 3:15 a.m. on August 31st 1888. The ripper had slashed her throat twice, and her abdomen had been savagely cut exposing the intestines. Her vaginal area had also been mutilated. The woman approximately five feet two inches tall with brown graying hair, brown eyes, and several missing teeth. Mary Ann Nichols had a drinking problem and spent most of her life making her earnings as a prostitute. She was a sad, destitute woman, but one that most people liked and pitied.
As the killer was never truly found, the investigation turned into a historical research. It was so prominent that the research of Jack the Ripper became known as Ripperology. So whether the world will ever know the true identity of the killer of all killers, it will always be in study.

Peter Sutcliffe Peter Sutcliffe (2 June 1946-13 November 2020) was an English serial killer, who terrorised England in the 1970s. He was convicted of murdering 13 women and attempting murder of 7 others between 1975-1980 and received 20 concurrent life sentences. He was infamously dubbed as the “Yorkshire Ripper” by the media due to his striking similarities to the infamous serial killer, Jack the Ripper who murdered several sex workers in Victorian London. The police investigation is also infamous due to the high levels of incompetency by the police force, which led to Sutcliffe operating for far too long until his arrest on January 2nd 1981.

Druitt was a man who was found dead in the River Thames on December 31 1888, the official cause of his death being a suicide-drowning. He probably would not have even been considered a suspect if not for the coincidental timing of his death taking place just weeks after the murder of the final canonical Ripper victim, and the fact that there were no more Ripper victims taken after his death, it was also taken into account that his family did have a history of mental illness, this could have been a contributing factor to his suicide. At first another reason he was suspected was that he was falsely recorded of being a Doctor, when he was actually a barrister and assistant schoolmaster, and some people had the belief that Jack the Ripper may have been a doctor or someone of a similar profession. Suspicion that he was responsible for the murders lessened when that mistake was realised. Despite there being no real reason to believe that this man was in any way related to the murders aside from the time of his suicide, he is still a popular suspect and one of the first names to pop up after searching for Jack the Ripper
These murders were not random but clear and skillfully executed. Intelligence is riddled throughout his executions which is one of the reasons he never served a day in jail for these brutal attacks.

His goals are very speculative because of the fact of him never being caught. Some theories of his motives include, he was a low life that wanted to be noticed,
