Rosemary Gartner

Professor Gartner’s research has examined comparative and historical patterns of violence, gender and intimate violence, the imprisonment of women, and relationships between legitimate and illegitimate violence.

Ongoing & Future Research

An ongoing study of homicide in four cities (Toronto, Vancouver, Buffalo, Seattle) from 1900-1999 (Collaborator: Professor Bill McCarthy, University of California, Davis). This study will document the incidence and characteristics of the approximately 8,000-9,000 cases of homicide known to officials in these four cities, and track trends in homicide over the 20th century.
