Mass violence refers to victimization, resulting in multiple deaths and/or injuries. Thus, the measurement of mass violence cannot rest on a single definition or dataset. The purpose of this paper is to decompose mass violence into its various sub‐types, discuss measurement issues related to the sub‐types, evaluate potential datasets for future studies, and offer practical policy implications.

细节中的魔鬼：衡量大规模暴力

大规模暴力是指受害，导致多人死亡和/或受伤。因此，大规模暴力的衡量不能依靠单一的定义或数据集。本文的目的是将大规模暴力分解为各种子类型，讨论与子类型有关的衡量问题，评估潜在数据集以供将来研究，并提供实际的政策含义。
