The canonical victims are the 'original five' women that are most commonly associated with the Jack The Ripper killings. Mary Ann (Polly) Nichols, Annie Chapmen, Elizabeth Stride, Katherine Eddows and Mary Kelly.
For reasons that are not clear the 'hoopla' over the Ripper crimes diminished greatly after the death of Mary Kelly. The killer kept on killing most likely for years but was mostly ignored by the press. But the detectives that worked the case know that the Ripper went nowhere. It does seem that after the Kelly murder his made some adjustments to his MO, possibly to avoid detection.
The five canonical victims are Mary Ann Nichols, Annie Chapman, Elizabeth Stride, Catherine Eddows and Mary Kelly.

Jack The Ripper's MO (modus operandi) was cutting the throats of his victims and then mutilating them, and in some victims he took internal organs.
Jack the Ripper, sliced his victims open and removed some of the their internal organs, he literally 'ripped' his victims apart.
There were token protests from a few family members and/or significant others as to the profession of their loved ones after meeting with Jack The Ripper, but the truth is without exception the Ripper's victims were full/part/occational prostitutes.
If you mean Jack the Ripper, he killed his victims with a knife, cutting the throats of women and then cutting out vital organs.
