Hello,

Aujourd’hui, nous avons terminé la présentation du quartier de Whitechapel et vous avez expliquez pourquoi ce quartier a rendu le travail de la police plus difficile.

Historical and social context of the murders

In 1888, Queen Victoria sat* on the throne for 50 years.

London was* the largest and the most powerful capital city in the world. 

But in the district of Whitechapel, life was* a daily battle for survival.

76000 residents lived in abject poverty in this crime-ridden quarter (= district). 

There were* a lot of diseases and starvation; the district had* the highest death rates of the capital.

1.The victims had* no family so nobody called the police.

2. The victims were* female prostitutes so nobody cared.

3. The victims were* drunk so they couldn't defend themselves.

4. The streets were* very dirty so there were* no clues or evidence.
