From the Paper:

"Few other criminals have ever gained the notoriety that Jack the Ripper had. Not only did he become famous as one of the most dangerous and elusive murderers that London had ever seen, but he affected the way the people of London lived their lives for quite some time. When Jack the Ripper had extended his reign to a period of time that became uncomfortable, the British crown and the Parliament stepped in to find Jack the Ripper and to stop his killings. Who he was and why he did the things he did were very important concerns for Parliament, as was the effect that his killings had on the women of London. Many people became distrustful of strangers, and the fear instilled in the hearts of the London townspeople remained there for a very long time. Unfortunately, Jack the Ripper was not someone who was easily captured, and although he to haunt to the police and left them notes, he was never captured. The case remains unsolved, and it has become fodder for many books and movies (Barbee, 2003)."
