  • Homicide in Seattle's Chinatown, 1900-1940
    Homicide in Seattle’s Chinatown, 1900-1940: Evaluating the Influence of Social Organizations Brian Paciotti Department of Sociology One Shields Avenue University of California, Davis Davis, CA 95616 530-219-8306 [email protected] Brian Paciotti, a human ecologist, obtained his PhD from the Graduate Group in Ecology (Human Ecology Area of Emphasis), at the University of California, Davis. He is currently a lecturer with the department of Sociology at UC Davis, and a post-doctoral fellow with the National Consortium on Violence Research (NCOVR). Much of the data used in this paper come from Rosemary Gartner’s and Bill McCarthy’s longitudinal homicide dataset that includes homicide cases in Seattle, Vancouver, Buffalo, and Toronto from the years 1900-2000. Paciotti is grateful to them for the use of these data, as well as generous assistance in writing and revising this paper. In addition, Steve Messner, and other NCOVR members provided valuable insights about interpreting and analyzing the data. This material is based upon work supported by the National Science Foundation under Grant No. SBR-9513040 to the National Consortium on Violence Research. Any opinions, findings, and conclusions or recommendations expressed in this material are those of the author(s) and do not necessarily reflect the views of the National Science Foundation. 1 ABSTRACT The present study extends the understanding of how features of Chinese social organization influenced patterns of homicide in Seattle from 1900-1940. The findings illustrate that generalizations about Chinese violence fit pre-WWII Seattle homicide data: (a) Chinese homicide rates were high as a result of conflict between tong organizations involved in the vice industry; (b) the timing of tong events was driven by disputes among organizational chapters in different cities; and (c) homicide rates unrelated to tong violence were relatively low, but far higher than modern Asian rates.
