Peter Sutcliffe's Victims

Peter Sutcliffe, known as the "Yorkshire Ripper," was a British serial killer active between 1975 and 1980. He murdered 13 women and attempted to kill seven others, most of whom were sex workers in northern England. Sutcliffe's crimes were marked by brutality and evoked public fear. His targets were often marginalized individuals, reflecting societal issues regarding the safety and treatment of vulnerable women. Sutcliffe's conviction in 1981 led to significant media coverage and debates about law enforcement, mental health, and the treatment of women in society, ultimately influencing changes in police procedures and public policy concerning violence against women.
