The investigations didn't produce much and he was never apprehended. Whitechapel was not a good place to get intoxicated and walk around in the early hours of the morning specially if you were a prostitute. If you were not confronted by Jack the ripper at night, and you were drunk, muggers would assault you.

How did Jack The Ripper highlight social conditions in Whitechapel?
Probably the only positive thing that was a result of these murders is the attention it brought to the living conditions in the east end. They were deplorable and long overdue for change.

Who wrote the book of Jack the Ripper?
There are numerous books and publications that deal with the mystery of Jack the Ripper. Some are factual or, at least, claim to be, while others are fictional. Still others blend fact and fiction together. This creates confusion for a person who wants to seriously study Jack the Ripper and the Whitechapel murders. lthough first published in 1994, Philip Sugden's historical investigation of the gruesome Whitechapel murders still stands out as a fact-based classic on Saucy Jack.

What makes Sugden's book stand out from the crowd is the fact that he started from scratch.
Did Jack The Ripper try to kill the Queen?
Although it's an interesting idea, the only threat to Queen Victoria by the Ripper was bad publicity. There are many reasons why this could not be true. JTR's hunting grounds was the small geographical area known as Whitechapel. A far cry from the palace where the Queen was in residence. The Ripper's hours were restrictive, killing mostly in the 'wee' hours of the morning. The Queen was not in the habit of roaming the dangerous streets of the impoverished east end late at night. Nor was she a down-and-out alcoholic prostitute.Furthermore, it would have been very foolish for a killer to murder such an important person if he could somehow get her alone, which would have been an almost impossible task. To infiltrate the Queens domain he would have had to get past the guards, palace personel, and other basic security problems. So for the reasons listed it is highly unlikely that the Whitechapel fiend would have made an attempt on the Queen's life.
