It was a cold and dark evening on Wednesday, 27 November, when a group of staff and students ventured into the gloomy streets of London to learn all about the gruesome stories behind the events surrounding the Whitechapel murders and the theories about the infamous Jack the Ripper. This trip was arranged as a reward for students at the Psychology and Criminology Society and, thanks to Joe Scott and his excellent and dramatic delivery of the tour, it was a huge success.

Our expert guide led us through the trails that police officers of the day followed, and gave us a glimpse into the lives of the Ripper’s unfortunate victims. Our students were captivated, engaged and impeccably behaved throughout and came away from this experience with a real enthusiasm to learn more about the crimes through independent research.

A huge thank you to Mr Scott, for his expert knowledge and very skilful delivery of the tour! Thanks also, to Mr Green and Mr Evarrete for giving up their valuable time and accompanying us on this extremely successful trip.
