چکیده (انگلیسی):

The present study examines the utilization of a class project involving the Jack the Ripper murders.
Students enrolled in a criminal investigations class were required to investigate the five canonical
murders associated with the infamous serial killer known as Jack the Ripper and the murders that
occurred in London during 1888. This paper explains the project and how students perceived the
project. A brief survey of student perceptions regarding the project indicate that overall students
thought the project was an excellent active learning experience . The project has excellent potential
for active learning applications in others courses as well such as criminology, a special topics
course about violent offenders or perhaps a forensic psychology class.
