title: [Sexual violence against women--the analysis of the phenomenon as exemplified by the Jack the Ripper case].
abstract: From the beginning of human civilization, sexuality has been controlled by morals and laws. Using the example of Jack the Ripper, the authors present the significant and very serious problem of violence against women in the aspect of crime detection and forensic sexuology. According to Lernell [1], sex crimes are defined as "such types of sexuality-related human behaviors (including their consequences) that are forbidden by law" [2]. Such crimes encompass sex murders. Criminal behaviors of a sexual nature are perpetrated by representatives of all social strata.
