As scholars struggle to understand homicide rates from their dangerous highs in 1990 to their puzzling inconsistency in the late 1990s, long range perspectives become more essential. What precedents have there been? When? Where? What can we learn from them? Or, is the last decade shift a unique event? This project establishes age standardized homicide rates for six large American cities from the late nineteenth through the early twentieth century. It uses capture-recapture sampling when needed to correct unreliable public health reports or other individual level sources known to undercount, such as indictment records. When fully complete, the data set will allow the testing of several hypotheses related to violence. Did cities converge and begin to covary? When is it legitimate to discuss a national rate? Is sex distribution's impact on homicides a purely time dependent variable? When does the negative relationship between big city size and homicide rates that prevailed in 1900 change to a positive one? Does internal migration from high (or low), affect rates?

随着学者们努力理解从1990年的危险高点到20世纪90年代末令人费解的不一致性的杀人率，长期视角变得更加重要。有什么先例？什么时候？在哪里？我们能从他们身上学到什么？或者，过去十年的转变是一个独特的事件？该项目建立了从十九世纪末到二十世纪初美国六个大城市的年龄标准化杀人率。它在需要时使用捕获-再捕获抽样，以纠正不可靠的公共卫生报告或其他已知被低估的个人水平来源，如起诉记录。数据集全部完成后，将可用来检验与暴力有关的若干假设。城市是否趋同并开始共同发展？什么时候讨论国家利率是合法的？性别分布对凶杀案的影响是一个纯粹的时间依赖变量吗？1900年盛行的大城市规模与凶杀率之间的负相关关系何时会转变为正相关？来自高（或低）国的国内移徙是否影响比率？
