Based off a mystery that's gone unsolved for 127 years, explore Whitechapel in 1888, in search of a person known as Jack The Ripper, (and also the Whitechapel Murderer and Leather Apron.) Learn about the suspects and use 19th century police forensics to form your opinion. Also learn about the development of forensic science, the early days of Scotland yard and life in London during the 19th century. The image to the right is of the 'Openshaw Letter' received by Thomas Horrocks Openshaw on October 29 1888, from Jack the Ripper. Participate in interrogations of the suspects and propose your own. All information should be sourced from police records, media of the time and modern 'Ripperology' studies.
For anyone interested in the history of Jack the Ripper and Ripperology, I would recomend visiting this site;

While I am uncertain as to if this entry will be deemed appropriate, I will be happy to modify it or replace it if one of the lecturers could let me know.
