Compare And Contrast Jack The Ripper And The Murderers

“Lizzie Borden took an axe and gave her mother forty whacks, when she saw what she had done she gave her father forty-one.” Jack the Ripper and the Lizzie Borden Murders were both violent crimes that impacted the world during the late 1800s. Jack the Ripper was a serial killer who was never found. Lizzie Borden had her parents murdered and most people believe she did it but was never accused of the murders. They both are unsolved cases that people still talk about today.

She had dark brown hair and blue eyes, Chapman was plump and had light complexion. The Dr. performing post-mortem was concerned that the body had been washed; fearing valuable evidence had been removed. “Additionally, eyewitness accounts do not match up with Dr. estimated time of death “(Jakubowski 27). The same cut was applied to Chapman’s neck as was applied to the other victims. There were two parallel cuts down the spine, estimated to be approximately one inch apart. Her abdomen was completely exposed and all of the internal organs were now hanging about her corpse. Two thirds of the bladder had been removed from the body as well.

Jack the Ripper was one of the most famous and renowned killers in history. Even though he was not the first serial killer, he was the first killer to strike on a metropolis setting. Jack the Ripper was in his prime at a time when the media had a strong control over society and society as a whole was becoming much more literate. Jack started his killing campaign at a time of political controversy between the liberals and social reformers along with the Irish Home rule partisans. The reports of Jack the Ripper were collected and reported by the police, but then the different newspapers with their political influences slightly distorted the stories to give them their own effect. It has been more the one hundred years since the last murder

David Berkowitz and Jack the Ripper were two completely different types of killers, but they

Despite the fact that no-one was ever brought to justice or charged with the murders, there have been more than a hundred named suspects who may or may not have been Jack the Ripper. Aaron Kosminski, Thomas Cutbush and Montague Druitt are some of the interesting suspects, whereas Prince Albert Edward Victor, the Freemasons, and Lewis Carroll are some of the ridiculous

The children landed uncharted island far from any semblance of police, parents, or even teachers. The island was almost like the “Neverland” that Disney taught us about years ago, but without Tinkerbell and a magical home with all their needs. Jack and the children in this adventure were in a heap of trouble. They were many, some smaller and some bigger (littleuns and bigguns). These kids had to organize themselves into some sort of unit, to more efficiently find a way home. That is where the trouble begins. When one or more humans come together, a hierarchy is always established. Similar to when one goes to a restaurant and the waitress only addresses our father for the majority of the tables decisions. When this hierarchy forms, the decisions this leader takes will always be classified as good or evil, and the society will be judged by the character at their forefront. In William Golding’s novel “Lord of The Flies”, Jack Merridew is the character that takes leadership in the society and proves humanity is inherently evil by demonstrating human’s: selfish tendencies, competitive nature, and hopelessness.

Back then women were viewed as weaker and more fragile than a man. Most of the crimes committed even till this day has been men. Women were rarely deemed murderous back then. Also, the evidence that was not admitted to prove her guilt was probably because of the system being unfamiliar with a female murder especially one as brutal as to what Lizzie Borden had done. Fingerprint evidence was probably deemed unusable back then seeing it was considered a new concept to forensic science in this case. There was no familiarity with fingerprinting or any evidence involving identifying blood on clothing instead of the regular “base paint” that Lizzie said was the dress she burned. Many people were outraged in the community on the grounds that Lizzie had gotten away with murder but if it was a man he would be completely crucified in the court for his crimes. This introduced the bias that we see in the criminal justice system today with female offenders and the violent crimes that are committed at the hands of a

I have not attempted to identify a named suspect as a consequence of my conclusions. In the course of an objective appraisal it is quite wrong to start with a suspect and then attempt to make the facts fit as so many later day investigators have done. Such an approach unavoidably leads to a skewed interpretation. I have, however, given a broad idea as to the type of man that Jack the Ripper may have been, and although such a summary may be of use to others, it lies firmly in the realm of

Then, the thing is you could argue that Lizzie Borden is not guilty because Dr. Handy stated “ I saw a medium-sized young man of a very pale face complexion, with his eyes, fixed on the sidewalk. He was passing slowly towards the south. He was paler than common, and acting strangely (1).” This had happened near 92 second street around the Borden’s house, the time of the murder. You can also say that Lizzie Borden is not guilty because there is not a spot of blood or a weapon that they have connected to

The police were unable to catch Jack the Ripper for many reasons however one important factor was the mistakes of the police force. At the time of the Ripper case many people seemed to not come forward with information if they had any due to police mistakes such as lack of reward. The police committed various mistakes such as dressing as prostitutes due to the fact that the Ripper had studied his victims, which gave the police no luck in catching the killer. The police however did many foolish mistakes as one would call by believing false stories from the public and press which contributed to letting Jack the Ripper escape. The police did many other mistakes in addition to a lack of rewards and listen to the public as well as dress as prostitutes, they also Didn’t assign much police officers in the area of

Fredrick Abberline, though not the most experienced man on the police force, was in charge of all detectives that were on the ground during the Ripper investigation. He did not believe the theories that many news reporters, or just fanatics, were spouting. Abberline preferred to go by the facts and the evidence. Though Abberline later changed his mind, he initially thought that George Chapman, Annie Chapman’s brother, was Jack. Abberline’s second in command, Robert Anderson, who had previously been in charge of every murder investigation prior to the Whitechapel murders. Anderson described Jack as such; a sexual manic of a virulent type (Douglas 96). Anderson initially believed that the killer was a polish immigrant, Aaron Kosminski. In 1988,

(Jones 1). Kosminski was held in the asylum in the late 1800’s due to his mental disorders like paranoia. Fortunately, he was pleaded innocent because he was only violent but not homicidal. As the lead investigator, Macnaghten also suspected, college graduate and athlete, Montague John Druitt. The own family of Druitt believed that they he was the killer. After, the death of the last victim, Mary Jane Kelly, Montague was found drowned in the Thames river. His death struck even more suspicion within the case, and many proposed that he killed himself because he was the murderer. Many theorists believe the royal family had something with the murders. Stephen Knight’s novel, “Jack the Ripper: The Final Solution”, talks about how the royal family was involved and the family doctor suspected odd connections. Prince Albert Victor brought more attention to the case since his unexpected death like his physician. Though the killer was never found, we can see if someone killed those woman or numerous people

In the years 1977 through 1986, over 300 guardians were murdered by their own kids (Heide, 1992). In Massachusetts there are roughly 124 people killed each year (Massachusetts Crime Rates, 2016). We all know that Lizzie Borden murdered her father and stepmother in her home in Massachusetts. It seems obvious that Lizzie committed this crime due to family friction, brutal weapons, and the evidence from her credibility.

The Inability of Police to Capturing Jack the Ripper In my opinion I disagree with this statement 'The police were to blame for not capturing Jack the Ripper. This is because we are dealing with a nineteenth century police force and not one of the twenty- first century. In modern times, forensic science deals with analysis of blood samples, DNA, ballistic, fibres, glass and pain, shoe and glove marks and many other scientific applications. The police force at the time of the Jack the Ripper investigations did not have the benefit of such sophisticated methods.

The reason I am led to believe this is because of the way they did it for so long, and the way organs were taken out. Researchers said that they suspected many doctors of being the Ripper, because you would have to know the body anatomically. THE BRUTAL MURDERS OF FIVE prostitutes in London's East End in the autumn of 1888 by an unknown killer who came to be called Jack the Ripper' are probably the most famous unsolved crimes in history. First he would strangle his victims, cut their throats and eviscerated them. His last victim, Mary Jean Kelly, he completely butchered ,cutting off her breasts , taking the flesh from her legs down to the bone , eviscerated her also ,and cut out her heart. Joseph Barnet, her lover, identified her only by her hair color. Many of Jack the Ripper’s victim’s showed signs of cannibalism. No one is certain of how many people Jack the Ripper killed.
