People are basically the same no matter what time period they live in. The people that lived in 1888 Whitechapel have much in common with proverty-stricken people today. They lived lives with little hope that things would ever be better for them. The only good thing that came out of the Ripper crimes was recognition of the horrendous living conditions in London's East End.

Jack the Ripper preyed on women that were so far down, living on the streets, they were hungry, dirty, and in most cases, isolated from family support, in other words they were 'working without a net'.

I'm sure as children, they did not make a concious decision to be homeless prostitutes. Or to be alcoholics. That's what makes the Ripper's crimes so horrible. He took advantage of their vulnerablity, they had no defense against him.
