Abstract Using law enforcement data from four Midwest communities, we document the similarities and differences between criminal nonfatal and fatal shooting incidents, including the spatial dimensions of the events. We present a definition for a nonfatal shooting incident that guides our victim and incident characteristic comparisons. Our work suggests that law enforcement agencies should build capacity for standardized data collection surrounding gun violence to include nonfatal shootings especially for use in evaluations of gun violence prevention strategies.

研究非致命性枪击案的案例：来自中西部四个城市的证据

摘要利用来自中西部四个社区的执法数据，我们记录了犯罪性非致命性和致命性枪击事件之间的异同，包括事件的空间范围。我们提出了非致命射击事件的定义，以指导我们的受害者与事件特征比较。我们的工作表明，执法机构应建立围绕枪支暴力的标准化数据收集能力，以包括非致命性枪击，尤其是用于评估枪支暴力预防策略时。
