Abstract

Statistical returns compiled by the Huxi Police Bureau (滬西警察局) of the Shanghai Special Municipality for August 1943. The first two tables concern five male victims classified under 他殺, recording cause, outcome, age, occupation, and police substation. Two cases are attributed to fire or water disasters (水火災害) and three to other causes (其他); three victims died and two were injured. The age table includes victims aged under 10, 11–20, and 31–40, together with one case of unspecified age; occupational classifications include industry (工業), commerce (商業), and unemployment (無業). The suicide tables record three completed suicides, one male and two female. Reported causes include family conflict (家庭糾紛), unemployment (失業), and an unknown cause (不明). The methods recorded are hanging (自縊) and poisoning (服毒), and all three cases resulted in death. The final table further classifies the suicide cases by age, occupation, and educational level.

Comment

Aggregate statistical record rather than an individual case dossier. The four printed forms cover August 1943 and provide sex-disaggregated statistics by police substation. The category 他殺 in these forms is broader than intentional homicide, since it includes external causes such as 水火災害; it is therefore preferable to retain the original Chinese category rather than interpret all five cases as criminal homicides. The suicide return records three fatal cases, one male and two female. The forms are dated 31 August 1943 and signed by police chief 趙志嘉.
