Writing coursework can indeed be a daunting task, especially when you have a specific and intricate

topic like GCSE History coursework on Jack the Ripper. The research, analysis, and writing involved
can be overwhelming, and not everyone finds it easy to navigate through historical details and
present them coherently.

While I can understand the challenges, I'd like to suggest exploring other options before jumping into
ordering. Maybe break down the task into smaller, more manageable steps. If you still find it
challenging, you can always seek guidance from your teacher or peers. There's a sense of
accomplishment in completing your own work.

If, however, you're pressed for time or feel stuck, seeking help from services like ⇒

a supplement to your own efforts rather than a complete replacement. Good luck!
Aside from theft, there were other crimes as well like rape, murder, violence garrotting and
manslaughter. Dr. George Phillips estimated the time at 4.30am. The knife used for the murder, he
had guessed, was a narrow, thin blade and about six to eight inches long in length, one similar to the
ones used for amputations by doctors. They had a shortage of officers and considering the over
crowding streets and the constant repetitive crime, the police had no chance of catching someone
with such skill. The police could have been loosing vital witnesses because they did not think of this.
No rewards were given which at first may sound dumb but avoids false claims and confuses the
police ever more. It gives the impression that the Ripper was able to avoid capture because of the
because of the lack of witnesses. The lack of forensic evidence, inaccurate information gathered and
the nature of Whitechapel delayed their progress in capturing the Ripper. This would give the police
a problem of whether this description should be used or not, there were also lots of other
descriptions like this. In addition to this we know how the people were surprised that poor
prostitutes had been attacked. He was described as about thirty-four or thirty-five years old, and five
feet six inches tall. It is believed that the senior officers did not work well together and failed to co-
operate properly. This could have just been people looking for someone to blame and the police were
the easiest target. There were cuts on both eyelids and the tip of the nose was detached. The excess
of effort that has been apparent in each murder suggests the idea that both crimes are the work of a
demented being, as the extraordinary violence used is the peculiar feature in each instance”. On the
other hand, Source E shows that the police force in the area of the murders were not strong. The fact
that the killer may have had medical knowledge was not taken notice of by the police. He had dark
hair and a dark moustache, and was wearing a dark jacket, trousers and a black cap. The
contradictory witness statements and initially thinking that Jack was local sent the police down the
wrong leads and wasted a lot of time that could have been spent on locating the killer. Whitechapel
was an area in East End of London, between Algate and Spitafields. Although he was not the first
serial killer, he was the first to do so in such a hugely populated area - London. She saw him again at
2:30am on the Friday morning near Miller’s Court. The police shouldn’t be entirely blamed as they
visited lodging houses and interviewed around 2,000 lodgers, sailors were also questioned. Indeed,
as I have mentioned before, the police was taking on what was previously the Army’s responsibility,
for example to suppress public demonstrations. There was already distrust in ethnic minorities from
the residents, who believed the murderer was most likely a Jew. He had thick ginger hair and was
dressed in shabby dark clothes with a dark overcoat and hat. The police should have realized that not
all of the people reciving the leaflet could actually read it. However, the evidence was given by
Elizabeth Long who was a fellow prostitute whom may well have been very nervous at the time
which is evident as she says things like “I think” and “I’m not sure” which suggests she was nervous
and ultimately unsure meaning she could have been making her own assumptions when at the time of
the murder she could have also been drunk. Some evidence was destroyed like the message about the
Jews on the wall near the murder of Catherine Eddowes. This source also states that there was a
'network of narrow, dark and crooked lanes', which means that even if there were more police on the
beat there would be many places for the Ripper to kill again with no one seeing, this is what
happened in future. Source E also implies that the police were ignorant towards the public.
The first was Mr M. J. Druitt, a doctor and of a good family. Some evidence was destroyed like the
message about the Jews on the wall near the murder of Catherine Eddowes. A reward would have
helped in this situation making the public more willing to offer information to the police. This is for
the reason that there was no street lighting and so the Ripper would have obviously looked darker
then his natural complexion. This was because when the police were introduced, nobody saw their
benefits and literally hated them. In this artcle the police are being blamed for the Ripper getting
away with such brutal murders. Although the number of victims is unofficial, the number is thought
to be around 5-7, all prostitutes within Whitechapel Area in East London, murdered in 1888. Source
F shows that the police did send out many leaflets to try and get some information, the leaflet needs
more information on it like a description but this was probably the first time they have done this. In
1888 the Metropolitan Police Force estimated that were 1,200 prostitutes working in Whitechapel
and many more women who took clients occasionally to help pay the rent. This could be argued at
their inability to innovate new methods, however when considering the circumstances, and the fact
that it was one of the first serial the police had to investigate, the criticism could be dismissed. Dr.
George Phillips estimated the time at 4.30am. The knife used for the murder, he had guessed, was a
narrow, thin blade and about six to eight inches long in length, one similar to the ones used for
amputations by doctors. However, it is a primary source so includes some reliability. It was written
for an official report in 1885 and so the content would be reliable and fair. The Army was mistrusted
and the police force wanted to distinguish themselves and remain popular. The breasts were cut off,
the arms mutilated by several jagged wounds and the face hacked beyond recognition of the features.
The time that was spent on giving answers to the press could have been spent on finding the Ripper
but the constant outbursts from the media did not make it any better. Source C also present forward
that the crime scene was not preserved so the police were unable to analyze it properly for clues. The
murder was being dealt with two police departments, who did not co-operate with each other. By
leaving no clues or evidence, and working quickly (e.g. double murder with Elizabeth Stride and
Catherine Eddowes.). So the writer of the postcard could have read about the murders in the
newspaper before posting it. Looking at the source A, I can see that the murders of Polly Nicholls
and Martha Tabram were linked. This was because Alice McKenzie’s throat had been cut differently
than the Ripper’s other victims, and Frances Cole had apparently been killed after a quarrel. They
still didn't listen to this advise after the first murder, but as I know they did put a lot more people on
the street after the second. The majority of children born in the East End of London died before the
age of five, and many who survived were mentally or physically handicapped. In other words, unless
he was caught red handed at the scene, there was no way to connect him with the victim. Here is a
piece of article in the east end observer describing the murders of Martha Tabram and Polly Nicholls.
Solicitors were rarely used in court cases because they were far too expensive. In comparison to the
common murders of the time, they appeared motiveless as no money was taken, leading the murders
to be feared further as well as inexplicable. They supposed that increasing the amount of police on the
streets would increase the chances of catching the murderer on the streets. Jack the Ripper - source
related questions and answers.
Also from source C we can tell that the crime scene was not preserved. Also the writers lived to tell
the tale without being attacked, so Whitechapel was not perhaps as bad as it was portrayed in their
descriptions. Another way, which was frequently used, was the use of bloodhounds. This involved
measuring parts of the human body, but in 1901, fingerprinting was seen as more significant. They
supposed that increasing the amount of police on the streets would increase the chances of catching
the murderer on the streets. Having two different forces on the same case could have caused
confusion on some aspects. His unfortunate victims included Polly Nichols, Annie Chapman,
Elizabeth stride, Katherine Edows, Mary Kelly and his 1 st possible victim Martha Tabram. Many
people pretended to be Jack the Ripper so they could get food and somewhere to sleep overnight,
which meant the police had no idea who was lying and who was telling the truth. At the time of May
Kelly’s murder he was having dinner with the Queen. The first was Mr M. J. Druitt, a doctor and of
a good family. When the upper classes visited Whitechapel, they were horrified at the conditions
people lived in. The man was five feet seven inches tall and was wearing a long dark overcoat.
Secondly, they still believed the killer lived in Whitechapel, and thirdly, they were still appealing for
information regarding suspicious characters. Does the evidence of source c support the evidence of
source A and B about the Ripper Murders. At the time women found it exhaustingly hard to find jobs
to feed themselves or even family, so they had no choice but to work as a prostitute. This would
mean poor people would come forward and pretend to be “jack” in order to claim the money. “It
tended to do more harm than good” a quote taken from source D6. There were 17 divisions each
with four inspectors and 144 constables. Therefore, it would be nearly impossible in 1888 to catch a
mysterious killer, when the police could not even manage a proper artist’s impression of the
murderer, to catch Jack the Ripper. This brought about other hates among the people towards police.
As the killer struck randomly and only met his victims by chance made it harder for the police in
1888. Capturing criminals nowadays is hard but doing it in 1888 with no real clues and no
technology must have been near impossible. Instead they believed that he might be a visitor to
Whitechapel rather than a resident. Source B also divorces the idea of the Martha Tabrum and Polly
Nicholls murders being linked, which the East End Observer suggests. In many market towns the
police collected tolls from traders and in larger towns they inspected tramcars. The facts were
exaggerated to an unbelievable extent. According to the coroner, Wynne Baxter, the injuries made on
the victim were done by somebody with anatomical skill or knowledge. Source F is a leaflet
published after the murders of Elizabeth Stride and Kate Eddowes. The information is reliable as
why would the police lie about making this mistake, however, there was no photographs or evidence
of the message so it is also very limited. Source C is a report by Doctor on the body of Elizabeth
Stride. Source C1 explains that some people believed that the murderer was crazy and violent but
didn’t necessarily have medical knowledge.
