JACK THE RIPPER - THE POLICE INVESTIGATION
A DIFFERENT TYPE OF CRIME
The Jack the Ripper Murders presented the Victorian Police with a type of crime that they had little experience of handling.
The detectives who dealt with the investigation into the killings found themselves pitting their wits against a lone assassin who wasn't leaving them any clues to go on.
In addition the murderer was committing his crimes in one of the most crime ridden quarters of Victorian London, where the secrecy of the criminal elements greatly hampered the police as they struggled to find the killer.
