Abberline: The Man Who Hunted Jack The Ripper - Plot & Excerpts
It was alleged that Abberline had been ordered direct from Scotland Yard: to start giving the public and the press what they were seemingly clambering for: arrests. There were far too many strange and suspicious-looking people on the streets, especially around the East End, and the public did not feel safe.Abberline was far from comfortable with this method of working; he had been a policeman for far too long to issue casual arrest warrants based upon a person’s looks or sometimes erratic behaviour. Using a special hand-picked team of men, he continued with his investigations in the manner he saw fit, while leaving what he termed these ‘panic arrests’ to lower ranked officers and other stations.Not only was Abberline and his team working diligently to catch the killer, the ordinary citizens of the East End also did their best to assist the police as much as they could. They reported every suspicious person and every overheard piece of conversation which they deemed to be relevant to the case.
