Randolph Roth

Randolph Roth studies the history of homicide and violence in the United States, using historical records to track patterns of killing, punishment, and crime measurement over long time periods, from colonial times to the present. His recent work examines how factors like the opioid epidemic and gun access relate to homicide rates, and he also contributes to debates about how historians and criminologists count and interpret crime data.

Publication output has been steady but modest over the last decade, generally ranging from 1 to 4 items per year without a clear upward or downward trend.
