How much of an influence is your personal worldview outside the field of Ripperology in how you percieve the Case in terms of what you look for in researching, your general assessment of the incidents within the Case and how they were handled, judgments of the actions taken by specific individuals in the Case, and overall interpretation of the Case from a political standpoint ?
Are you more often than not someone who maintains a liberal position in sizing matters up ? Even someone with leftist tendencies ?
Are you someone who maintains a conservative viewpoint in real life/civilian situations and does this carry over into your work and development as a Ripperologist? Perhaps someone with right wing sentiments ?
Could you be a fence sitter who judges things from an apolitical point of view ?
No need to elaborate to the point that you might feel afraid you'll be the only one to respond...I certainly will....and hopefully others will comply.
Let me start things off:
Which segment or division of society in 1888... while taking into account the events of 1887, still vivid a year later...was affected to a greater degree than any other if in fact you percieve one was affected to a greater degree than any other?
Were native born working class people more affected than say, the politicians ? Were the Police and those of the foreign born community more stressed out than the rest ? Were women-in-general the primary section of society which felt the effects of the Whitechapel Murderer the most ?
Back to you.
