Probably not.
You have to have great passion to be a serial killer. By that I mean a burning desire, especially if you're doing something gross to people and it's a type of person most have sympathy towards. Most males do not want to hurt women. There are a lot who might what to kill women, but not a lot who want to sit there and play around cutting a woman up.
That is something you need to have a great deal of interest in and get a thrill from.
So, more than even one at a time in a given time and place is a bit much.
Jack was a guy who did what he did because he hated women and wanted to cut them apart.
I have read lots of books about the history of psychology. There's a great one called Encyclopedia Sexualis by Kraft-Ebing, I think is the name. It was from Germany in the late 1800s and is a think book about all kinds of unusual sexual behavior and perversion. There's lots of stories about European serial killers in it and their motives once caught. So, Jack wasn't unusual.
It was very easy for serial killers to exist back then as communication was terrible and moving around was fairly easy. We probably have less now than back then.
