Historians have ploughed through census records to gain insight into the lives of the women he targeted. Studies of the 1881 census have shown that far from being the young, lifelong prostitutes that modern cinema has them portrayed, the victims were often older and married with children.

Two of Jack the Ripper's victims, Elizabeth Stride, who was 37, and Catherine Eddowes, 38, are recorded in the 1881 census as married and living with their husbands seven years prior to their deaths, while 40-year-old Annie Chapman was residing with her parents before relocating to be with her husband, a stud groom, in Berkshire.

According to newspaper reports when they were murdered in 1888, none of the victims were living with their husbands at the time of their deaths. It is thought they may have turned to prostitution after their marriages broke up. The census confirmed the only victim who was in her 20s at the time of death was Mary Jane Kelly. The first and last of the so-called "Canonical five" victims, Mary Ann "Polly" Nichols and Mary Jane Kelly, are not found in the 1881 census and may well have been street walking on the night the census was taken.

On the other side of the coin, I knew about the Crowley theory and that his writing is similar of Jack' signature but someone revising the photos of the crime scene spot the figure of bahomet the satanic figure. That was the name given to Crowley in the Ordo Templi Orientis. This is the second time his name has been brought forward in the rippers crimes.

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.

No. He killed five victims in 1888
Jack the ripper cut up his victims to show the authorities his deeds. Jefrey Dahmer cut his victims in a more horrific manner that the Jack the ripper. He ate parts of their bodies and made things to go with his furniture with victim's parts.
