Randolph Roth's "American Homicide" | Book Club

Join me to talk about important history books. I'm hoping to make this a monthly thing, a book club if you will. Today I'll focus on a topic that is very close to my dissertation's topic (American violence in the Southwest during the frontier period). Randolph Roth's "American Homicide" is a statistical survey of its titular topic, showing the many rises and falls of murder-rates throughout American history and correlating them to "strain theory" or the popularity of governance. Be sure to check out the book if you haven't already:
Randolph Roth, _American Homicide_ (Cambridge, Mass.: The Belknap Press of Harvard University Press, 2009). https://amzn.to/3BG6gp4

I am also announcing that I'm working with TrovaTrip to setup group travel. It sounds like quite a fun thing to do, visiting destinations with folks and learning new history alongside y'all. So be sure to fill out their survey so that we can figure out what/where works for whom: https://my.trovatrip.com/public/l/survey/CynicalHistorian
