The police tried to catch Jack the Ripper using numerous methods. At the time of the urders, the police force was not very sophisticated. For that reason, many current methods of identification were not yet available. For instance, there was no way of telling where a patch of blood came from, as forensic science was not yet that advanced

therefore people could be wandering around, covered in blood from a human or animal and no-one would be able to prove what the source was.

There were a lot of places were the ripper could hide while making the killing.

How did the police methods improve from the Jack the ripper time to the Yorkshire ripper time?

The resources available made the difference in the newer invenstigation. At the time of the Jack the ripper murders, organised criminal investigation was in its infancy. The detectives in the Yorkshire Ripper case had the use of computers and all the apparatus of modern technology to help them althought there was some sloppy handling the information gathered. It was through the vigilance of an ordinary beat policeman, not a detective, that Sutcliffe was finally caught, when he checked the registration details of a suspcious-looking car and was challenged by Sutcliffe. This policeman was aware of the information gathered and was on the look out.


When did Jack The Ripper rise to fame?

Because serial murder was very rare in Victorian times the Ripper's first couple of killings barely made a ripple. But by the time he had killed Polly Nichols JTR was beginning to cause quite a stir, thanks to the press. Figuring that the first victim was earlier in the year of 1888, by the late summer or early fall Jack The Ripper was a worldwide sensation. In many cases the press and publicity can help police with tips that may lead to an arrest. Not so for JTR. He sold a lot of newspapers and there were literally thousands of leads that were followed up by investigators, Scotland Yard just did not have the science available to catch the likes of Jack The Ripper.
