This study provides a quantitative examination of gender-based mass shootings in America from 1966–2018. Gender-based mass shootings refer to attacks motivated by grievances against women, divided into four categories based on a specific woman or women in general, as well as whether they directly target the source of their grievances. Findings indicate that specific woman–targeted shooters were the most common and significantly different from their counterparts in their domestic violence history, racial diversity, and engagement in spree attacks. When comparing all gender-based attacks against other mass shootings, significant differences include relationship status, children, domestic violence history, substance abuse history, and suicide. This investigation provides implications for gender and mass shooting scholars, as well as practitioners developing strategies for intervention and prevention.

本研究对 1966 年至 2018 年美国基于性别的大规模枪击事件进行了定量检验。基于性别的大规模枪击事件是指以对女性的不满为动机的袭击，根据特定女性或一般女性分为四类，以及是否直接针对她们的不满来源。调查结果表明，在家庭暴力历史、种族多样性和参与疯狂袭击方面，针对特定女性的射手是最常见的，并且与同龄人显着不同。在将所有基于性别的袭击与其他大规模枪击事件进行比较时，显着差异包括关系状况、儿童、家庭暴力历史、药物滥用历史和自杀。这项调查为性别和大规模枪击学者提供了启示，
