Jack The Ripper 1. From looking at the newspaper article on source A, I can determine the following information regarding the murder of Polly Nichols. Firstly, I can ascertain that it was the second of the Whitechapel murders. I can draw this conclusion from the first few words 'the two murders which have so startled London'. The second point we can learn from this article is that the killer had no apparent motive for the killings, supposedly because money wasn't missing from his victims; 'no adequate motive in the shape of plunder can be traced'. Also, the article tells us that the victims have been 'the poorest of the poor' Even though these pieces of information are product of the media, they appear to be true, as there would be no need for the newspaper to sensationalise such facts. The source also suggests the killer is a 'demented being', due to the 'extraordinary violence' exhibited in each of his murders. Finally, the source makes reference to the 'excess of effort' used by the killer 2. The report of Dr. Frederick Blackwell on the body of Elizabeth Stride supports the coroner's report on source B when it states that 'in the neck, there was a long incision which commenced on the left side, two and a half inches below the jaw, cutting the windpipe completely in two'. This account supports source B which states; 'there are no meaningless cuts' and that 'the injuries have been made by someone with considerable anatomical skill' obviously because the killer knew where to reach the windpipe. The extract also supports source A where it talks about the 'extraordinary violence'. However, source C contradicts source A when ... ... middle of paper ... ... that a disgruntled customer of one of the local Jewish craftsmen's shops may have just written this graffiti to express his anger. The only thing linking this graffiti to the Eddowes murder was a tiny piece of Eddowes's apron found nearby. Source A mentions the victims being 'the poorest of the poor'. This is important, as maybe the police weren't worried as much about the poor people. Also this suggests that the killings may have been in hard to reach places for the police. Source B mentions the 'anatomical skill and knowledge' required to carry out such murders. Maybe such a man could also have enough knowledge to be able to out wit the police. Source F, the leaflet is another reminder of the police effort to stop the Ripper getting away, but it could also have let the Ripper know of the police involvement too much.
"I am Jack the Ripper, catch me if you can" (Cornwell, 55) has been one of the most haunted lines of history, especially in London's Whitechapel area from August 1888 to November of that same year. Jack the Ripper was the mystery everyone wanted to solve, but not everyone was as determined as Patricia Cornwell. Throughout her series of all her Ripper investigations, she was destined to prove once and for all that Jack the Ripper wasn't just any man, but Walter Richard Sickert himself. In her book Portrait of a Killer Jack the Ripper Case Closed, she discusses and confirms that everyone had known the Ripper all along, just fell for his act. The author wasn't going down without a chance to prove to the world that Walter was the evil serial killer
The next reported slasher attack, Hilda Lodge was the victim. She was attacked on Green Lane near Martin’s Mill, Pellon Lane. She was walking down the street when suddenly an arm flung out from around a wall and cut her on her face and both arms. This attack joined the others and the hysteria spread like wildfire (Glover 3). The panic spread as far as London (Halifax
In this case analysis, Molly Wright was murdered on 27th Sept 2006, at Redhill Gardens, Airedale, Castleford in the United Kingdom. Bloodstain Pattern Expert Samantha Warna is correct in her testimony. She testifies that the victim, Molly Wright, was killed by her son in law and business partner, David Hill. If she said that she found blood stain patterns on his shoes, jeans, and the denim jacket that he was wearing at the time of her murder (Casey, 2012).

The people out at the time of the murder would have been tramps and drunk, not reliable witnesses. The East End streets were maze-like. and easy to escape from. These were a few of the problems the police encountered. The snare Jack the Ripper was extremely clever to be able to evade the police.
Although the true identity of Jack the Ripper has never been identified, experts have investigated Prince Albert Victor, Thomas Neill Cream, and Montague John Druitt as prime suspects. Based on facts and information given, the researcher found evidence that Jack the Ripper was Montague John Druitt. Druitt’s family, appearance, and suicide support the researcher’s claim. Ultimately, the obsession with the Jack the Ripper case will never perish.
We all know what Graffiti art is; well we think we know because of the “modern” graffiti art that is still occasionally seen. However Graffiti Art has been tracked back all the way to the time of 1851. Firstly graffiti comes from the Italian word “graffiato” meaning scratched and was later called graffiti through the media as we see it today. ‘Additionally early forms of graffiti were seen back in ancient Italy at the ruins of Pompeii’ in 1851. “Painting on sidewalks, and other forms of graffiti, is still common in Rome today. Whereas Romans consider graffiti as a form of urban art, many westerners consider it vandalism unless property owners give consent to the graffiti artists.” (Cyprus, Sheri, and O. Wallace. "What Are the Origins of Graffiti?" WiseGeek. Conjecture, 02 May 2014. Web. 08 May 2014.) Even though all this might seem surprising to some and maybe even considered arguable to not be graffiti; I want to go in depth on graffiti art in America.
Jack the Ripper killed five women between the 31st of August 1888 and the 9th of November 1888. They were murdered in Whitechapel and Spitalfields in the East End areas of London, England. The killer was never caught and because of this there are hundreds on his personality and motives. No other killer in the British history rivaled that of the gruesome, mocking, utterly superior Jack the Ripper, a multiple murderer whose arrogance and boldness deified the entire police department of London and held in terror a great city for as long as he cared to roam its streets and slay at will.
Jack the Ripper was an infamous serial killer who killed at least five London female prostitutes in 1888. Never captured, his identity is one of English's most famous unsolved mysteries. Today, Jack the Ripper is one of the most, if not the most, famous serial killer ever. There are many theories on who Jack the Ripper is, and why he killed, but none of these theories were ever proven. Jack the Ripper is simply a lone assassin who “officially” killed four prostitutes and got away without ever being caught and convicted of his crimes.
“Jack the Ripper,” was the name given to an unidentified serial killer in the White Chapel district of London in 1888. The name came from a letter left at the crime scene, written by someone claiming to be the killer. The letter was believed to be a joke and thought to be written by a reporter in a deliberate attempt to heighten interest in the investigation.
Jack The Ripper Jack the Ripper, as he was rightly called, was an infamous murderer in London, England in 1888, almost one hundred years ago. Jack the Ripper is by no stretch of the imagination the first serial killer ever, but the first to do so in a largely populated area, although it seemed he had no malice for other people. Although the number of kills under the belt of Jack the Ripper is unofficial, it is estimated to be around four to seven women, all prostitutes within the area. He also had no accomplice’s or accessories to the crime. Another fact was that Jack the Ripper escaped scott-free, with no charges.
Because police investigators are usually under pressure to arrest criminals and safeguard the community, they often make mistakes. Sometimes, detectives become convinced of a suspect 's guilt because of their criminal history or weak speculations. Once they are convinced, they are less likely to consider alternative possibilities. They overlook some important exculpatory evidence, make weak speculations and look only for links that connect a suspect to a crime, especially if the suspect has a previous criminal record. Picking Cotton provides an understanding of some common errors of the police investigation process. During Ronald Cottons interrogation, the detectives did not bother to record the conversation “But I noticed he wasn 't recording the conversation, so I felt that he could be writing anything down”(79) unlike they did for Jennifer. They had already labelled Ronald Cotton as the perpetrator and they told him during the interrogation “Cotton, Jennifer Thompson already identified you. We know it was you”(82). Jenifer Thompson 's testimony along with Ronald Cotton 's past criminal records gave the detectives more reason to believe Ronald committed the crime. Ronald Cotton stated “ This cop Sully, though, he had already decided I was guilty.”(84). Many investigative process have shortcomings and are breached because the officials in charge make
‘James Bulger’ aged two years, was taken from his mother whilst she was shopping by two ten year olds named ‘Venables and Thompson’. James was diagnosed with horrific injuries and lead to his death. The two ten years had abducted, tortured and murdered James. The investigation indicated a brutal murder suggesting James had been struck by thirty blows to the skull causing deep bruising and the skull had been damaged with an iron bar and a brick. The investigation showed ‘Venables and Thompson’ had stripped James from the waist using ugly impropriety endows had also been inflicted on James. Both these boys had shown a form of a typical behaviour.
Graffiti is a beautiful art that expresses feeling and emotions. However, people think of it differently. Is it a crime or an art? Those talented people, young or old, a teenage, a child or an adult, have a passion for making graffiti art on street walls a...
Although street art and graffiti art seem very similar, upon closer examination the differences in technique, function, culture, and intent are revealed (Weisburg.) ‘“Graffiti (sgraffiti), meaning drawings or scribblings on a flat surface and deriving from the Italian sgraffio (‘scratch’), with a nod to the Greek graphein (‘to write’), originally referred to those marks found on ancient Roman architecture”’(Weisburg). Though, it is unknown when or where graffiti first made an appearance; modern graffiti did not come around until the late 1960’s to early 1970’s in New York. The term “tagging” is the modern form of scratching (Weisburg). It also is considered the origin of all modern graffiti, including street art.
