Life in Whitechapel during the time of 1888 was known to be worthless, and cheap. Therefore the streets of Whitechapel were dangerous and risky. Murders to be with abuse, drinking, robbery, money or fights between gangs was very common and nothing out of the unordinary, especially for the street of Whitechapel where incidents like this occurred on a daily basis. Homelessness was a major problem at the time, so street was packed with prostitutes, immigrants and unemployed people, all looking for some sort of a way to gain money. When daylight went and night began to creep in, this was the time when people were at most risk especially prostitutes because they were out looking for business and the street of Whitechapel ideal. This is because there was a lack of lighting facilities at night and the narrow street and allies with gaps were the spot for business. Though sadly these places were also deal for brutal attacks to occur, Jack the Ripper murders.

I would bet my life on it. The crimes of JTR began, as far as we can tell, in early 1888. If the killer was in his twenties when he began to kill that would put his birth date in the 1860s. So I'm confident that he is in fact dead.
Who did Jack The Ripper murder first?
Although for over a century it was believed that the Ripper murders began with the death of Mary Ann (Polly) Nichols on August 31 1888. It is more likely that Martha Tabram, killed on August 6, 1888, was murdered by the same killer as Nichols. Some believe that an even earlier murder may have been by the Ripper. Emily Smith was attacked in the spring of 1888 but lived long enough to tell family that she was attacked by at least 3 men. I doubt Smith's death was a Ripper killing.

That's Hollywood. Nobody knows if Jack The Ripper wore a cloak or anything else.

Given that there is no positive identification of who Jack the Ripper was, this question is impossible to answer.However, witnesses who saw the victims with a man stated that the man they saw with the victim was 35-40. Some witnesses saw victims with men within minutes of their deaths, which means they probably saw Jack the Ripper.Although age is a hard thing to gage in profiling a criminal most serial murderers begin killing before age 35. It should also be pointed out that the crimes speak of a younger perpatrator. Most likely mid 20s. JTRs crimes were out in the open on public streets and alleyways. This is indicative of a youger man. 20 year olds take more risks that someone pushing 40.Jack was never aprehended so the age was not confirmed.

As far as anyone can tell, Jack The Ripper cut the throats of all of his victims first, before disembowling and mutililating them. This is what is called his MO or modis operandi, how he killed his victims. There is a very logical reason why the Ripper cut his victim's throats first. It left them unable to scream and call attention to the killer. It worked very well. For the most part, JTR worked in relative quiet.
