Several years after the onset of the Ripper crimes, author Jack London spent time in Whitechapel in London's East End. This fascinating, appauling look at Victorian London in the East End gave an all too honest look at the people the Ripper preyed on. Crime was rampant, as was poverty, alcoholism, desparation and hopelessness. London sites "cleanilness a howling farce" and the misery and over-crowding was almost beyond description. Living as the East-enders did, London went into the Abyss with no money in his pocket, looking for work to earn his keep, and sleeping in "doss houses" when they had the room for him, and he could find the money.
