"Jack the Ripper" is the popular name given to a serial killer who killed a number of prostitutes in the East End of London in 1888. The name originates from a letter written by someone who claimed to be the killer published at the time of the murders.
The killings took place within a mile area and involved the districts of Whitechapel, Spitalfields, Aldgate, and the City of London proper. He was also called the Whitechapel Murderer and "Leather Apron."
The father of modern serial killing and one who got away with it. Since he was never apprehended for the murders, nobody knows exactly what turned Jack into a serial killer.
The most likely reason is that the Whitechapel murderer suffered consistent mental and possibly physical abuse at the hands of a domineering mother or other female figure throughout his childhood. All of the evidence suggests that the murderer suffered from anti-social personality disorder--ASPD--but was not clinically insane.

Was Jack the Ripper a pseudonym?
"Jack the Ripper" is a pseudonym in that it is a false name which conceals the true identity of the person to whom it refers. However, in this case it would be more accurately described as a soubriquet, as it is a type of nickname imposed by someone other than the person to whom it refers. The murderer now generally referred to as "Jack the Ripper" was originally known as "The Whitechapel Murderer". An letter signed "Jack the Ripper", purportedly written by the killer, was sent to the press during the series of murders and the press latched onto it as a suitably dramatic name by which to refer to the murderer. There is no evidence to conclusively prove that the author of the letter signed "Jack the Ripper" was in fact the murderer, and the police, press and others received hundreds of letters purportedly written by the murderer over this period.
