Can anyone find me good sources?

Question

I have an essay to do. This is the title:

"Why were the victorian constabulary unable to arrest Jack the ripper?"

Does anyone know of any websites or good sources that I can use in this essay? Cheers

Answer 1

i dont know of any good websites but lets get back to before the internet and try the library...they are an amazing place for advice..and reading helps with your education too

Answer 2

There are details within the London Dungeons i don't know if they have a web site but you can go to google and type in Jack the Ripper and see what comes up.

But the main reason why they could not arrest Jack the ripper is because they did not know who he was even though they had a few ideas.

Good Luck with your research

Answer 3

The name 'Jack the Ripper' has become the most infamous in the annals of murder. Yet, the amazing fact is that his identity remains unproven today. In the years 1888-1891 the name was regarded with terror by the residents of London's East End, and was known the world over. So shrouded in myth and mystery is this story that the facts are hard to identify at this remove in time. And it was the officers of Scotland Yard to whom the task of apprehending the fearsome killer was entrusted.

They may have failed, but they failed honourably, having made every effort and inquiry in their power to free London of the unknown terror.

Over the years the mystery has deepened to the degree that the truth is almost totally obscured. Innumerable press stories, pamphlets, books, plays, films, and even musicals have dramatised and distorted the facts to such a degree that the fiction is publicly accepted more than the reality
