Also, he would disrespect his wife and call her all types of disrespectful names. This was probably the stuff she wore he didn’t like or he just wanted to be rude to her. In the text, The Whitechapel/ Jack the Ripper Murders by John W.

Or her husband probably used to abuse her and she knew at some point he would kill her so she did it first.

The contributions of these philosophers regarding punishment still influence modern corrections today.
