In 1888, the police faced significant criticism for their handling of the Jack the Ripper murder investigations in London. Critics pointed to their inability to apprehend the killer, despite several gruesome murders taking place in quick succession. Additionally, the police's lack of effective communication and coordination, as well as their treatment of witnesses and media relations, further fueled public outrage and skepticism about their competence. This criticism highlighted broader issues regarding policing methods and public safety during that era.

Hi. In 1888, the first police dog was used in England and I am just fascinated as to the first case to which a police dog was assigned.

How does blind man's buff mean in telling us that Jack the Ripper never got caught?

"Blind-man's Buff" is a punch cartoon that came out on September 22 1888. It critizes the police for it's incompetence and the failure to capture the ripper. The cartoon also mocks the police's methods of detection. It doesn't tell us but shows a picture that the ripper is not going to be caught by the police of that day.
