A synopsis of what is known about Jack the Ripper's victims

The main idea of the article is that Jack the Ripper's victims were more interesting to people when they were dead. No one cared about them when they were alive. Mainly, this is because of the way the press sensationalized the murders, a practice that continues into the present day, stoking public enthusiasm. In a way, as an expert interviewed for the article stated, true crime is treated like a game. This gamification of true crime, according to the author, can perhaps indicate similarities between the values of the 19th and 21st centuries. *edit: some people are getting a paywall. Here is the archive version.
