Ripperology

Ripperology is the intensive study and investigation of the Jack the Ripper case, the notorious unidentified murderer who committed brutal crimes in London’s Whitechapel district in 1888. Enthusiasts and researchers analyze historical records, crime scene details, and forensic evidence to understand the events, identify potential suspects, and explore the social context of the time. Although not officially part of criminal investigation, Ripperology combines history, criminology, and detective work to piece together the mystery, often driven by fascination with the case’s mystery, the social conditions of Victorian London, and the enduring intrigue surrounding the unsolved crimes.
