Mass Shootings: What Have We Learned?

• In Event: Risk Factors Implicated in School Shootings

Abstract

This presentation will examine public mass shootings using data from a variety of sources, including the NYPD Active Shooter Database, the Stanford Geospatial Center Database, and the UCR. The research examines situational variables that may have affected outcomes using information gathered from police reports and news media outlets. Lastly, the research uses biographical information to classify mass shootings into emergent categories and make between-group and within-group comparisons of similarities and differences.
