From the Paper
"There has long been a great deal of speculation about the motive behind these acts. The book The Complete History of Jack the Ripper asserts that the contemporaries of this killer had a difficult time understanding the motive behind such heinous crimes. Some have speculated that the killer was influenced by the occult (Sugden). The author asserts that other contemporaries believed that the murder was somehow influenced by the stresses of the modern age (Sugden). The author also explains that there was a belief that if the killer was caught he should be studied, so that officials could garner a greater understanding of what caused him to commit these murders (Sugden). The author explains "can we not, before handing him over to the executioner or the authorities and Broadmoor, make a really decent effort to discover his antecedents, and his parentage, to trace back every step f his career, every hereditary instinct, every acquired taste, every moral slip, every mental idiosyncrasy (Sugden).""

Abstract
This paper presents a detailed psychological examination of the story of Jack the Ripper. The actions of Jack the Ripper would pale in comparison to some of the more modern serial killers but the tale of Jack the Ripper lives on as one of the most historical cases the world has experienced. The writer delves into why this is true as well as the psychological aspects of the case.
From the Paper
"One of the most compelling issues in the case of Jack the ripper from 1888 is the fact that it has never been solved. The person who committed the murders of five prostitutes vanished as easily as he killed, without a trace. One of the reasons that the case became as famous as it did and still holds the fascination of so many legal experts is because it was one of the first modern cases of serial killing. There had been murders in the past, where domestic squabbles ended in violence or because the involved parties felt they had been wronged by the victim, but serial killers were not a common occurrence."

Abstract
The paper examines the criminal investigation of Jack the Ripper. It is necessary to examine the conduct of Scotland Yard as it pursued this case, for doing so will reveal the challenges the investigators faced and establish the reasons why they failed to identify and arrest him. The paper shows that the issues involved have been mired in controversy for more than a century, for there has been speculation that Scotland Yard discovered the identity of Jack the Ripper, concealed who he was, and didn't apprehend him because of political pressure from people in the government or the royal family.
From the Paper
"In focusing on the criminal investigation of Jack the Ripper, it is necessary to examine the conduct of Scotland Yard as it pursued this case, for doing so will reveal the challenges the investigators faced."

Abstract
This paper discusses evidence and details of the court trial against James Maybrick. The author draws particular attention to the "The Diary of Jack the Ripper", a diary that reveals to the world the identity, motive and method of the infamous killer known as Jack the Ripper.
From the Paper
?The crowded courtroom fell silent as the attorney for the defense approached the panel of jurors and prepared to deliver his closing argument. The hushed silence seemed to hang suspended in the heavy atmosphere of anticipation as he reached the front of the courtroom and turned to face the jurors. The tension in the air intensified as he paused momentarily to gather his thoughts before delivering the final climatic words that would mark both his final plea for a verdict of innocent and the end of a long and somewhat bizarre trial. The verdict of innocent for which he argued would not determine the fate of the defendant, for James Maybrick had gone to his grave over a century before the evidence identifying him as London's elusive East End killer known as Jack the Ripper came to light.?

Abstract
This paper discusses the circumstances and identity of the killer dubbed "Jack the Ripper." The paper examines possible theoretical frameworks within which we can gain insight to the true motives and circumstances of the event. It specifically discusses the psychoanalytic theory and the social disorganization principles and how they contributed to understanding "Jack the Ripper's" killing spree.
From the Paper
"The East End London killing spree of 1888 has become infamous in popular culture and history. An unknown serial killer, known to this day only as "Jack the Ripper" engaged in a series of grisly murders. His profile was that of a serial killer, with a specific victim--East End prostitutes. The historical events concerning Jack the Ripper and his murders have been overshadowed by the enormous public fascination with the case, particularly its unresolved status. To this day, no one knows who Jack the Ripper was, but the search for and debate over his identity has given rise to an entire branch of criminal justice research known as "Ripperology." The actual identity of the murderer will likely never be known. All that exists are facts about the victims and the crimes themselves, all else is conjecture. Using the known facts of the case and the little that is certain about the killer, motives can be easily extrapolated. Jack the Ripper's brutal and misogynistic killings were driven by behaviors that can be explained by psychological theories, particularly Sigmund Freud's psychoanalytic theory; while the social disorganization theory explains how the social conditions of London's East End at the time provided an atmosphere where his motives could be carried out."

Abstract
This paper goes into great detail describing the different murders committed by Jack the Ripper in the Whitechapel district of London between August and November of 1888. It discusses the cruel methods he used to kill his victims and how he used to taunt the police by leaving notes about the crime. It discusses how the fact that he was never caught by police, tormented the citizens of London for many years after the crimes stopped.
From the Paper
"Few other criminals have ever gained the notoriety that Jack the Ripper had. Not only did he become famous as one of the most dangerous and elusive murderers that London had ever seen, but he affected the way the people of London lived their lives for quite some time. When Jack the Ripper had extended his reign to a period of time that became uncomfortable, the British crown and the Parliament stepped in to find Jack the Ripper and to stop his killings. Who he was and why he did the things he did were very important concerns for Parliament, as was the effect that his killings had on the women of London. Many people became distrustful of strangers, and the fear instilled in the hearts of the London townspeople remained there for a very long time. Unfortunately, Jack the Ripper was not someone who was easily captured, and although he to haunt to the police and left them notes, he was never captured. The case remains unsolved, and it has become fodder for many books and movies (Barbee, 2003)."

Abstract
This essay compares Charles Dickens? ?Great Expectations? with Peter Carey?s ?Jack Maggs.? The author examines how the portrayal of the convict characters Abel Magwitch and Jack Maggs are compared and contrasted, revealing astonishing similarities between the two characters, despite the different backgrounds of their authors.
From the Paper:
"Peter Carey?s novel, "Jack Maggs", and Charles Dicken?s "Great Expectations" whilst built on the same story line, were written by two authors from different countries and different times. It would therefore not be amiss for a reader to assume that their respective portrayals of a convict, who earns his wealth in New South Wales and sponsors a London street urchin to gentlemanly status, would differ markedly. This assumption, however, is quickly contradicted upon comparison of the two texts. Both Dickens and Carey, despite their different backgrounds, portray their respective convict characters, Able Magwitch and Jack Maggs, with great empathy."

From the Paper
"Jack Hyles encouraged others to go into the field of ministry if they felt God was leading them to do so. He published books explaining what he felt were the best ways to reach a congregation. His literature describes how to prepare for a sermon, what manner to keep while preaching, and the importance of understanding the congregation. Hyles suggested simplicity when outlining a sermon as he felt an outline that is too detailed would give listeners too much to remember. He also described how he often would make up songs to keep the truth of the message from his upcoming sermon in his mind. When delivering his message, Hyles often included words, superlatives, experiences, names, places, and rituals that warmed his heart to keep himself in the right manner of delivery. He always made sure to be careful with his eyes, the use of his hands, manner of dress, facial expressions, and pulpit behavior to ensure he was delivering in a manner appropriate to earn his congregation's trust. His concentration seemed to pay off, as his manner of preaching was described as "exciting and practical." This manner affected people so much that after a sermon one day, a custodian came to him in tears to let him know how much he reminded him of his old preacher."

Abstract
This paper describe the beat generation, a close group of American writers of the 1950s of whom Jack Kerouac is associated. This group rejected materialism and consumer society and put forth a new set of values. The paper relates that Jack Kerouac in his 1957 novel "On the Road" speaks about this dissatisfaction with contemporary society by presenting a moral and psychological portrait . The paper also points out that Kerouac uses the stream of consciousness technique to recreate his and his friends' deeply philosophical and spiritual cross-country road trips across America. The paper highlights the two main characters of the novel, Sal Paradise and Dean Moriarty, who in reality are Jack Kerouac and his closest friend Neal Cassady.
From the Paper
"The Beats were intellectuals, writers who experimented with Zen Buddhism and drugs; the spiritually enlightening experiences that came as a result of the experimentation are described in the novel by characters such as Carlo Marx - real life Beat icon, Allen Ginsberg - and Dean Moriarty. What is interesting to mention here is that Sal Paradise, the main character and narrator of the novel, does not participate in his friends' experiments with Benzedrine. Moreover, he expresses his reluctance as to the possibility of finding one's soul i.e. what the other members of his entourage were looking for."
