Jack the Ripper is the name given to an uncaught serial killer that was extremely active in a poor area of London in 1888. Without any serious suspect, the killer was named Jack the Ripper, due to a letter that appeared in the media in those times. Jack the Ripper was also named “the Whitechapel murderer” – after the area in which the crimes were committed and “Leather Apron”. He had at least five victims. Because Jack the Ripper was never caught, he is still famous today and the case is still studied by a lot of people eager to solve this mystery. Jack the Ripper had the first criminal profiling in history. Police surgeon Thomas Bond was the one who participated in the making of the profile of the notorious killer. He collaborated with surgeon Robert Anderson to study and examine the murder cases, in order to make an accurate profile.

The surgeon was convinced that Jack the Ripper did not have any scientific knowledge, less anatomical one. He stated that Jack the Ripper must have had enough knowledge to be able to kill a horse. He might have been a butcher. Thomas Bond also noticed that all victims were murdered while they were laying down. The cut they had in their throats was made from left to right. The two man who worked on the criminal profiling of Jack the Ripper also draw the conclusion that he must have been a solitary man.

Jack the Ripper definitely had a homicidal and an erotic mania that pushed him to do the murders. The homicidal impulse Jack the Ripper had was probably due to an incident in his childhood or, he was a religious fanatic with certain manias that determined him to kill those women. Apparently, Jack the Ripper did not have sexual intercourse with the victims, but he penetrated them with a knife. The women were left in degrading positions with a clear sexual meaning. From theses facts, the two analysts concluded that Jack the Ripper still had sexual pleasures deriving from his murders. Although they had this profile and many suspects, none of them was really considered and so Jack the Ripper was never caught.
