This file contains a 1988 FBI National Center for the Analysis of Violent Crime behavioral analysis of the unsolved 1888 Whitechapel murders attributed to 'Jack the Ripper.' Supervisory Special Agent John E. Douglas prepared the report at the request of Cosgrove-Meurer Productions using historical background material, while noting that nineteenth-century medical and police records were incomplete by modern standards. The report addresses victimology, medical findings, crime-scene patterns, alleged Ripper communications, offender traits, and suggested investigative and interview approaches. It characterizes the victims as high-risk prostitutes, discusses the concentration of attacks in Whitechapel, and offers a speculative offender profile based on behavioral analysis rather than an identified suspect.
