1. ... Sources D + E are very useful in helping us understand how the Ripper avoided capture. ... The environment would have also played a part in helping the Ripper avoid capture and is described in source E as ‘a network of narrow, dark and crooked lanes’.
Amy Gilmour
This would have given the Ripper an easy job in hiding or escaping before being caught. ... Sources F and G show that the police were trying to catch the Ripper though at this stage in the investigation they were becoming desperate. ... The police tried but were not successful in catching Jack the Ripper. ... On the other hand, it also tells us that the environment in Whitechapel was ideal for someone to hide; the ‘network of narrow, dark and crooked lanes’ would make it easier for the Ripper to escape. ... The police had been trying to find the Ripper and at this stage of the investigation were desperate. ...
In conclusion, the police were not entirely to blame for not capturing Jack the Ripper, as there were many other factors involved such as misleading rumours in the press and being spread by word of mouth, the environment in Whitechapel and the lack of co-operation from the public. Each played some part in the police failing to capture Jack the Ripper meaning it was not entirely their fault.
