  • Murder in New York City

    Eric H MonkkonenBOOKMurder in New York City2010

    Murder in New York City dramatically expands what we know about urban homicide, and challenges some of the things we think we know. Eric Monkkonen's unprecedented investigation covers two centuries of murder in America's biggest city, combining newly assembled statistical evidence with many other documentary sources to tease out the story behind the figures. As we generally believe, the last part of the twentieth century was unusually violent, bu…

    Los Angeles has records that enable the study of the city's and county's homicide rates from the Mexican period onward. This article analyzes the four decades between 1830 and 1870. Although a sparsely populated region and city, the number and rate of homicides demonstrate levels of personal violence usually associated only with mining towns such as those studied by Roger McGrath. No single factor accounts for this violence,but transiency, weak l…

  • Homicide in Los Angeles, 1827-2002

    Eric H MonkkonenARTICLEThe Journal of Interdisciplinary…2005Citada por: 2Referencias: 7

    An analysis of nearly two centuries of homicide data that stretch back to the Mexican period for the city and county of Los Angeles reveal a long history of violence in the region, one in which the homicide rate has consistently been higher than that of other major cities. Such factors as national culture, regional differences, demographics, economics, and political structure help to account for the persistence of this pattern. Does this traditio…

  • Counting Guns

    Open AccessGordon S Wood, Gordon Wood et al.ARTICLESocial Science History2002Referencias: 5

    At the fall 2001 Social Science History Association convention in Chicago, the Crime and Justice network sponsored a forum on the history of gun ownership, gun use, and gun violence in the United States. Our purpose was to consider how social science historians might contribute nowand in the future to the public debate over gun control and gun rights. To date, we have had little impact on that debate. It has been dominated by mainstream social sc…

  • Murder in New York City

    David Wolcott, Eric H MonkkonenARTICLEJournal of American History2002

    The dramatic increase in American murder rates in the late 1980s—and the equally dramatic decrease in the late 1990s—seem to have fostered renewed interest in the history of homicide. Among the most prominent recent works is Eric H. Monkkonen's Murder in New York City. This book sets a new standard for research on the subject. Drawing on a wide range of sources, including coroners' inquests, newspaper articles, and reports by police, health depar…

  • Estimating the Accuracy of Historic Homicide Rates

    Open AccessEric H MonkkonenARTICLESocial Science History2001Referencias: 5

    Even though it declined in the last decade of the twentieth century, homicide remains anAmerican problem of extraordinary importance. Yet our empirical knowledge is remarkably shortsighted. Simply put, most researchers focus on the past decade or two—usually for reasons having to do with convenience, not theory—and ignore the longer term. However, recent work has shown that past lethality is inherently recoverable, and that there is every reason …

    Open AccessEric H MonkkonenARTICLESocial Science History1995Referencias: 6

    The primary reasons for understanding homicide in the past are the same as for the present, and in fact most present studies use some comparisons over time. Because homicide varies across time and over political territories, we know that it is not an invariant human phenomenon. For social historians, homicide is also important because in both coroners and newspaper accounts we catch fascinating snatches of everyday life. Through its incidence and…

    American police grew in per capita strength from the mid-nineteenth century until the first decade of the twentieth when they reached their present strength. Their hierarchical organization, communication capacity, and uniformed visibility made them civil servants of general resort, called on to run soup kitchens, inspect boilers, standardize weights and measures, and recover lost children. Not until the end of the nineteenth century did they beg…

    In this issue of Social Science History we begin a special series of articles surveying the impact and use of historical research and reasoning in the other social sciences—anthropology, economics, geography, political science, and sociology. The authors of the essays have been asked to analyze their disciplines so that readers will get a sense both of major issues and research directions and of influences. In addition, they have been asked to in…
