Exactly. If I'm a poor woman without the protection (deemed necessary by society) of either my father or husband, my options are shitty and few. I can work menial jobs for long hours and little pay, if I my health and strength permits and I can find one. I can become a prostitute, with better hours and little pay and high risk of sexual disease, sexual/physical assault and oh hello Jack the Ripper.

Or I could become a criminal. Why wouldn't I consider a life of crime if my other choice is to work myself to death and/or let myself and any children I might have starve in the gutter?

Jack the Ripper wasn't some huge threat. There was more chance of being killed by a horse cart or being knocked off a barge than by him. In a city of several million, you're giving far too much credit to someone known to have killed eight people.

Do you have any idea how many prostitutes have met violent ends?

I mean, I pretty sure that Jack the Ripper could have killed a lot more without many people knowing or caring, if he hadn't been so dead set on getting attention. Yeah, Jack the Ripper (only) killed some number (five?, eleven?, more?), but one of the reasons they had so many problems identifying who he had killed was the abundance of victims. Prostitutes are often the targets of violent people, including serial killers (like Victorian era killer Thomas Neill Cream or Joseph Philippe, though that was in France, or Juan Díaz de Garayo, though he was in Spain, or Francisco Guerrero, though he was in Mexico). And the Jack the Ripper case was sensationalized at the time, so I don't think being afraid of getting killed would be an unreasonable fear for a prostitute at the time.
