Preferred term

Jack the Ripper  

Definition

  • Compared with other serial killers, “Jack the Ripper” of Britain was not the most prolific murderer; yet, like Ted Bundy in the United States, he has become a criminal icon and a standard by which to measure other killers. In 1888, the Ripper killed at least five London prostitutes, and more likely the death toll was closer to 10 to 15—no one knows for sure, but he promised through missives to the British media that he would not stop until he had killed 20 victims. [Source: Encyclopedia of Murder and Violent Crime; Jack The Ripper]
