1 13

Fact

The surviving Whitechapel Murders police files allow a detailed view of investigative procedure in Victorian times. A close reading of the investigation shows a basic process of identifying suspects, tracing them and deciding whether to examine them more closely or to cross them off the list. This is still the pattern of a major inquiry today.
