"From police and reporters to criminologists and psychologists - everybody seems to want a walk-on part in the 'Suffolk Ripper' show. I am not sure whether the grisly actions of a homicidal maniac ever have much meaning. But some reactions to the murder of five women, all of them prostitutes in the town of Ipswich, do seem to say something grim about our society’s current state of mind. The coverage of the case has turned the ‘Suffolk Ripper’ murders into another sort of reality television show. The police officers leading the investigation, the news reporters covering it, the criminologists and psychologists speculating about it - everybody seems to want a walk-on part in the theatre of death."
