Abstract
Despite occurring a long time ago, the murders committed by Jack the Ripper still generate a lot of discussion and are still in the public eye. The mind of a serial killer is fascinating because it is beyond reason and logic that one can seem perfectly normal one moment and be a complete monster the next. The reason why it is important to determine what effect deteriorating mental health had on Jack the Ripper is because it would enable experts to understand the killer’s actions and the meaning behind them. Furthermore, it could lead to the uncovering of the killer’s identity. The purpose of this research is to prove that mental illness influenced the person we today call Jack the Ripper, and that mental health was the main cause of the crime. This present research was conducted by studying official police documents, and consulting more recent research on the topic. The outcome of this study is in line with popular thought, but not in every way. The research findings show that Jack the Ripper was not just a victim of his surroundings and his childhood, but also a victim of a mental disorder, because it was recently proven that those who suffer from psychopathy have slightly different genetic predispositions. The outcome that Jack the Ripper suffered from a mental illness was not a surprise, but what was a surprise was how many different traits the killer showed, traits which were symptoms of many illnesses of the mind.
