Homicide rates spiked and then fell in a consistent pattern across many western countries in the 20th century (Fig. 1). In the US alone the homicide rate has halved since the 1980s, when it was as high as the road fatality rate is today. In other countries the falls are not so great in magnitude, but still amount to many lives saved. If the causes of this fall were known, many more deaths and trauma could be prevented. | Homicide rates spiked and then fell in a consistent pattern across many western countries in the 20th century (Fig. 1).

This paper constructs a quantitative history of the homicide rate in Qing China and investigates its social and economic drivers. Estimates based on historical archives indicate that this annual rate ranged between 0.35 and 1.47 per 100,000 inhabitants during the 1661–1898 period, a low level unmatched by Western Europe until the late 19th century. | |||
