Yorkshire Ripper: The Secret Murders - Rotten Tomatoes Yorkshire Ripper: The Secret Murders - Rotten Tomatoes

Tim Tate, a journalist, and Chris Clark, a former police officer, have done a remarkably in-depth study of Peter Sutcliffe's other crimes(the ones that he was not charged with) and in this most readable of books it is difficult to fathom out why the police investigators at the time did not come up with all the facts that the two authors have now brought before the public. Perhaps it is not quite true to use the words 'come up with' for some of the evidence now brought forth was discovered at the time and was for some unaccountable reason chosen to be ignored. If acted upon, as the authors quite clearly state on numerous occasions, a number of lives could possibly have been saved. In 1981, Peter Sutcliffe, the ‘Yorkshire Ripper’, was convicted of thirteen murders and seven attempted murders. All his proven victims were women: most were prostitutes. a b c d e f g h Cross, Roger (1981). The Yorkshire Ripper: The in-depth study of a mass killer and his methods. UK: Harper Collins.

Rate And Review

I think the thing which annoyed me most while reading this book was the report filed by two police officers who interviewed Sutcliffe some time before he was arrested and who were convinced he was the man they were looking for were ignored completely. The report which they filed has since disappeared from the records. Why did no one listen to them or even consider conducting a more thorough interview with Sutcliffe under caution? Even if it was only done to eliminate him from the investigation? It seemed to me, reading this book, that the police were reluctant to formally interview anyone. Casci, Mark (7 May 2010).

"Final chapter – There's only one Yorkshire Ripper". Misogynies. Faber and Faber. ISBN 0-571-16807-8. The story of the Yorkshire Ripper is incredibly sad. What he did to these women, the investigation, the hoax. Still, after so many years the book about the ripper will never be closed. Did he kill more women? I don't know. In hindsight it is always easy to see patterns and clues. West Yorkshire Police were criticised for being inadequately prepared for an investigation on this scale. It was one of the largest investigations by a British police force [73] and predated the use of computers. Information on suspects was stored on handwritten index cards. Aside from difficulties in storing and accessing the paperwork, it was difficult for officers to overcome the information overload of such a large manual system. The failure to take advantage of Birdsall's anonymous letter and his visit to the police station was yet again a stark illustration of the progressive decline in the overall efficiency of the major incident room. It resulted in Sutcliffe being at liberty for more than a month when he might conceivably have been in custody. Thankfully, there is no reason to think he committed any further murderous assaults within that period. [87] Possible victims [ edit ] Byford Report [ edit ]

Eleven marches in various towns across the United Kingdom took place on the night of 12 November 1977, making the point that women should be able to walk anywhere without restriction and that they should not be blamed for men's violence.
