History Of The Ripper's Victimatology

Mary Jane Kelly was the last victim by Jack the Ripper. On November 9, 1888 early in the morning Mary was killed. Her body lied naked in her bed. The body was positioned weirdly. She had her thighs and abdomen removed, and so were her breasts. These pieces were placed on the table beside her. She had cuts around her neck and all over her face.

"Blood Loss, the decline of the serial killer" by Christopher Beam was published in 2011 on January 5th. The story was published in a magazine that is usually directed towards the general public. In his article, Beam discusses how the medias intrest in serial killers has decresed thoughout the years. He explains how the medias facination with serial killers has fluctuated since the 1920 's to now. Beam talks about some of the more famous killers and why the media found them so interesting and then explains how the number of serial killers has decreased since the media changed its fasinations from serial killers to terrorism. The main point that Beam is trying to make is that the population is only interested in what 's "trending". As stated in his article, "What child abductors were to the 20 's and serial killers were to the 70 's and 80 's, terrorists are to the early 21st century.", the trend that the media follows is always changing.

In the late 1930s in Goldfield, Nevada at the Goldfield Hotel, George Wingfield Owner impregnated the lovely Elizabeth, who was prostituted around town. Unfortunately, Elizabeth was looking for love, someone who would’ve taken care of her, someone who was rich, and Mr. Wingfield was the right person except he had a wife, he was a successful business person, a political figure in town and how would that make Mr. Wingfield look if people were to find out. Wingfield paid Elizabeth to keep quiet but once he couldn’t any longer he offered her a stay at his hotel in room 109 just while she was pregnant, so he could keep an eye on her. The day Elizabeth gave birth she went missing some say she died in childbirth, some say she was murdered by Wingfield but it was said that

In today’s society, it is common to see rape murders or any type of murder that had some form of sexual assault. What the world knows about Jack the Ripper is that he was a killer in London that gruesomely murdered most likely five women and was never caught.

Janie and Mrs. Mallard both lead distinctive lives due to their beliefs, environment and health. At an early age Janie married Logan Killicks because of her grandmother’s dying wish (Hurston, 15). Janie soon left Killicks and married Joes Starks a prosperous man who’s desire was to become rich and well known (Hurston, 29). Starks passed away and Janie married a younger man than her named Tea Cake (Hurston 116). Janie left her home town with Teacake and had the privilege to travel to new places and experience freedom, love and happiness (Hurston, 131). A hurricane arrived to the muck and Teacake was bitten by a dog with rabbis, Teacake tried to kill Janie, and in self-defense Janie killed Teacake. After Teacake’s death Janie was able to “pull

Perhaps one of Mary Rowlandon’s most barbarous actions occurred during the eighteenth remove when she stole a piece of horse meat from a child. Rowlandson describes the incident

It was hot, and sticky July afternoon in 1895 Lunenburg, Virginia when Edward Pollard found his wife’s, Lucy Jane Pollard, dead body lying on the ground with an axe next to it. She was on her way to set her hens when the murder happened. There were immediately suspects thrown into the case, three being African American women, Pokey Barnes, Mary Barnes, and Mary Abernathy, all of which had connections to the Pollard’s farm. Mary Barnes and Mary Abernathy both worked on the farm and Pokey Barnes was the Pollards neighbor and lived next to the farm. Mary Abernathy was the last person to see Lucy Jane Pollard alive and within 24 of the murder, she was in custody. The other suspect was Solomon Marable, the only male suspect in the case. He was

Mary Ann Cotton was born October 31 1832 and died on March 24 1873. She was England’s first female murderer as her murders reached the front cover of every single news stand in Britain. She is best known for killing three of her four husbands, apparently in order to collect on their insurance policies. Overall she killed and poisoned 21 people in total ,including eleven of her thirteen children. Moreover, she grew up in the City of Sunderland, Endlnad. At the age of 8 her parents moved the entire family to the County Durham village of Murton. While in school, she was extremely lonely and did not make any friends. Right after the move, her father fell to his death down a mine shaft. After her father’s death, her mother remarried to George Stott. Mary found it difficult to get along with him and at the age of 16 she eventually moved out to become a nurse.After three years studying to become a nurse, Mary’s dreams fell apart as she returned home to live with her mother and eventually became a dressmaker.

Mary Reiby is a well-known and respected woman as her presence left a huge impact on society. When her parents past away her grandmother sent her away to become a house servant, but she ran away and dressed her up as a boy to hide her identity Mary only aged at 15 dressed as a boy, smooth of skin and childlike, Mary’s decision to maintain the disguise in the English gaol where she awaited sentencing was a stroke of genius. Non-segregated, English prisons brimmed with filth. Squalid, dangerous places full of both petty and vicious criminals, rife with vice and run by a cruel and inhumane system, her disguise only came undone when the customary medical check was carried out for convicts being transported.. This was probably no more than a high-spirited escapade attributable to lack of parental control.

As rumors and information circulate around the area, it was believed that Rogers was sexually assaulted. When Mary left the tavern with the company of a young man, it was confirmed that a scream was heard in the distance, but didn’t get a lot of attention (Loss). As a matter of fact, Stashower claims that “Mary was violated by three assailants and then murdered” (“Edgar Allan Poe”). This proves that Rogers was possibly raped days later, after supposedly “visiting her aunt” on the morning of July 25. Also, a mark was found on Mary’s neck, about the size of a man’s thumb and the dress she wore before her disappearance was all over the place (“Edgar Allan Poe”). In addition, Stashower states that “The woman had been choked to death and was committed by several men” (“Death of Mary Rogers”). Based on the facts surrounding Roger’s death, there is a possibility that Rogers was raped due to the examination of her body and her dress being torn

Like most countries, there are multiple phases of growth. It just so happened that London was experiencing a phase of growth during the time of the Ripper Murders. The East End especially was effected, more so then in past years. Other cities like Whitechapel and Spitalfields Bethnal Green, St George and the East and Poplar, become extremely poor during the era of the ripper. This was partly because of the increase of immigration in London. The increase of immigration, caused a huge set of unemployment, therefore making the city of London and the cities surrounding it extremely poor, with very bad living options. The East End, was considered overpopulated and dirty with immigrates, which lead to crime.

Finally, the reader is introduced to the character around whom the story is centered, the accursed murderess, Mrs. Wright. She is depicted to be a person of great life and vitality in her younger years, yet her life as Mrs. Wright is portrayed as one of grim sameness, maintaining a humorless daily grind, devoid of life as one regards it in a normal social sense. Although it is clear to the reader that Mrs. Wright is indeed the culprit, she is portrayed sympathetically because of that very lack of normalcy in her daily routine. Where she was once a girl of fun and laughter, it is clear that over the years she has been forced into a reclusive shell by a marriage to a man who has been singularly oppressive. It is equally clear that she finally was brought to her personal breaking point, dealing with her situation in a manner that was at once final and yet inconclusive, depending on the outcome of the legal investigation. It is notable that regardless of the outcome, Mrs. Wright had finally realized a state of peace within herself, a state which had been denied her for the duration of her relationship with the deceased.

There was once two brothers Damian, and Dean they were just ordinary until one day they had met Katherine and they soon found out she was a vampire that had been compelled them to care for her and drink her blood. Then one day the townspeople found out what she was and what she was doing, so they had kidnaped her and were taking her to be killed, but the two brothers intervened and were murdered, but since they had been drinking her blood they had come back as vampires. Dan was a good person but when he had became and vampire the hunger overwhelmed him, so he lost all control over his blood lust (Hunger) and went around murdering everyone, ripping the heads off of his prey. They soon began calling him the; “Ripper of Montrell”. Dean was nothing

The concept and study of victims has three distinct eras. The Golden Age of victimology began around 2000 B.C. where tribal law was the rules, regulations and collection of laws and there was no getting around it. Victims would seek revenge and assist in determining the type of punishment, which usually was compensation. Problems with tribal law was as families grew vendettas could lead to banishment of families or families were repeatedly victimized. It was an age of a form of discretionary justice that concluded that this method was not working.

At the time, Jack the ripper was also a problem for people, he made life for women very insecure and unsafe seeing as they were his main targets. When Sherlock spoke to women he was more of a gentleman, in many stories women came to Sherlock seeking help. Women didn't have much power during the times of Victorian England. Back then the old "Ball 'n' Chain" really was the Ball 'n' Chain for women, once they were married they were basically considered, in my opinion, baby making machines or trophies, something you had around the house that's sole purpose was to look happy or pretty. Men didn't consider that their wives had feelings or desires, that there was something behind the smiles, women, like men actually wanted to be something and not just watch other people get there.
