tony, I think you're confusing the criminal who's well known, with the criminal who's seeking to be a well known TV personality. Courtney, for example, appears on TV as Mr Cheeky Chappie who's 'done a bit here and there' while the Jack the Ripper style fame isn't glamourising crime at all.

In the reception area of a nearby B&B, I was rather staggered the other day to see a leaflet advertising Jack the Ripper-themed tours of London. This got me thinking about why it should be OK to look on the period of Jack the Ripper with some degree of, I suppose, ghoulish affection (for want of a better phrase) rather than the horror those crimes would induce nowadays.

Or watching a war film, reading a book by a soldier or politician who had part in planning a conflict?
For pitty's sake, it's a tour that covers a long past series of incidents that we've all read books about, seen dramatised on TV and film and wondered about ourselves. What's so wrong with it? A Fred West tour would be wrong, but nothing from 1900 can be in the same league. Jack the Ripper gave birth to the twentieth century (or so he's claimed to have said) not 1999!"The Jaguar's going cheap"
