  • A Prison in the Woods

    Open AccessRandolph RothARTICLEJournal of American History2022

    Clarence Jefferson Hall looks at the development of America's carceral system from perspectives that few scholars have used. He examines the “natural” and built environments in New York's North Country in and around Adirondack State Park, where the state located a disproportionate number of its new prisons in the late twentieth century. He also focuses on the rural communities that welcomed or opposed these prisons. Many of America's new prisons …

  • T. C ole J ones . Captives of Liberty

    Open AccessRandolph RothARTICLEThe American Historical Review2021

    Historians have long been aware of the hardships that prisoners faced during the American Revolution and of the appalling loss of life among captives. Disease, malnutrition, and murder claimed thousands. The transport of Ethan Allen and his men in chains to England after their defeat in Canada, the hacking deaths of dozens of rebels captured in South Carolina by Loyalist leader “Bloody” Bill Cunningham, and the misery of Patriot soldiers held bel…

  • Arizona’s Deadliest Gunfight

    Open AccessRandolph RothARTICLEWestern Historical Quarterly2020

    Helen Osselaer’s Arizona’s Deadliest Gunfight is a moving history of the Power family, as it migrated generation after generation to the South’s latest frontier, until its deadly confrontation with federal authority during World War I. The family’s clash with the government took only one more life than the shootout at the OK Corral. But Osselaer’s book is important to historians and the reading public not because of its body count. It brings to l…

  • Does Better Angels of Our Nature Hold Up as History

    Randolph RothARTICLEHistorical Reflections/Réflexions…2018Citada por: 1

    Steven Pinker’s Better Angels of Our Nature defends Norbert Elias’s “civilization thesis”: the idea that violence has declined gradually in human societies over the millennia. As history, however, Pinker’s defense is flawed. First, the data gathered by historians do not show long-term declines in individual or collective violence. Second, the historical forces that Pinker believes have suppressed violence can also increase violence, depending on …

  • How Exceptional Is the History of Violence and Criminal Justice in the United States? Variation across Time and Space as the Keys to Understanding Homicide and Punitiveness

    Randolph RothBOOKAmerican Exceptionalism in Crime…2017

    This chapter contends that American exceptionalism is a far more complex issue than it initially appears. Which nations are exceptional? When, and in what ways? Once the question of exceptionalism is asked over a long span of time, its answer is almost always fluid and complicated. Hence, the chapter turns to comparative historical research in isolating the most important causes of incidents like homicide and punitive penal policies, by showing t…

  • Emotions, Facultative Adaptation, and the History of Homicide

    Randolph RothARTICLEThe American Historical Review2014Referências: 1

    IN SOME HISTORICAL CIRCUMSTANCES, HOMICIDES are rare.Rates can drop to 1 per 100,000 persons per year or less, and the chance that a person's life will end in murder (known as the homicide risk) will fall to less than 1 in 1,000, as it has today in Japan and much of Europe.But in other circumstances, rates soar into the tens, hundreds, and even thousands per 100,000 persons per year, and the risk of being murdered over the course of a lifetime ca…

    The promise of scientific history and scientifically informed history is more modest today than it was in the nineteenth century, when a number of intellectuals hoped to transform history into a scientific mode of inquiry that would unite the humanities, social sciences, and natural sciences, and reveal profound truths about human nature and destiny. But Edmund Russell in Evolutionary History and Jared Diamond and James A. Robinson in Natural Exp…

  • Yes We Can

    Randolph RothARTICLECrime Histoire et Sociétés2011Citada por: 1Referências: 2

    I would like to thank the Editorial Board of Crime, History, and Societies for giving Pieter Spierenburg and me an opportunity to discuss my book, American Homicide. As I anticipated, Pieter’s essay is an aggressive defense of the “civilization” thesis of Norbert Elias, a thesis which Pieter has advanced in creative ways. At the end of my essay, I will suggest ways in which my findings on the history of homicide are compatible and incompatible wi…

    The Historical Violence Database (HVD) is a collaborative research project to gather data on the history of violent crime, violent death, and collective violence. The database will serve as a repository for historical research (research notes, handwritten worksheets, spreadsheets, scans and photographs of original documents, etc.) and will integrate that research into a single information system based on standard worksheets and spreadsheets.

    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…

  • Child Murder in New England

    Open AccessRandolph RothARTICLESocial Science History2001Referências: 28

    Historians often despair of their ability to write histories of child murder, because the crime was easy to commit and conceal. Even today, coroners can determine only in rare instances whether a deceased infant or newborn was suffocated or died of natural causes (Knight 1996: 441–44, 345–60). No reliable test can determine, once decomposition has begun, whether a deceased newborn ever took a breath; and suffocation, unlike strangulation, leaves …
