Eric Henry Monkkonen
Eric Henry Monkkonen (August 17, 1942 in Kansas City, Missouri – May 30, 2005 in Culver City, California) was an American urban and social science historian who conducted authoritative studies on the history of crime as well as urban development. His work produced evidence that countered and overturned many assumptions, such as that crime rates are higher in urban areas, and increased during post-war periods and economic downturns. His works on the history of crime in several cities were extensive, cataloging close to every recorded homicide in New York City since 1798, and every homicide in Los Angeles since 1827, and conducting extensive studies on several more cities, primarily in the Western world. At one time he believed that murder was largely "a problem of men", and that "If men take charge of anything ... it must be of the notion that real men don't kill, that self-respect means shrugging off an insult, and that the better manliness accrues to him who does not fight. Other countries have done this, and so can the United States."
== Life ==
Monkkonen was born in 1942 in Kansas City, and grew up in Duluth, Minnesota. He gained an interest in studying murder as a graduate student in the late 1960s, in part because it was clearly studied over a long period of time. He earned his bachelor's, master's, and doctorate degrees from the University of Minnesota between 1964 and 1973, after which he taught at the University of North Carolina in Charlotte for a few years. After publishing ''The Dangerous Class: Crime and Poverty in Columbus, Ohio, 1860-1885'' in 1975, Monkkonen moved to the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA), and continued working there for the rest of his career. He was diagnosed with prostate cancer in 1995, and died on May 30, 2005 at the age of 62 in Culver City, California.〔 His family and colleagues at UCLA established the Eric Monkkonen Fund to support students working in social history.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=''In Memoriam''.
