Motives

As Lyndsey so kindly posted the breakdown of what our presentation is going to consist of, my chosen subject area for the topic is Motives. I actually thought this was going to be pretty easy; just talk about possible reasons that the murders were committed, until I realised I was going to be looking at it on a more social sense. So the main things I am going to be considering are, NOT the reasons why Jack the Ripper (whoever he was) but why the mystery of the murders is so hyped up. Why can't people just accept the fact that the murders were committed without a motive? Is this the reason his legend is so renowned? Any thoughts on other reasons would be greatly appreciated?
