Abstract

For this study, we closely examined public mass shooters who targeted specific women and quantitatively compared them to other shooters. Results indicate that nearly one-quarter (24%) of public mass shooters in the United States have targeted specific women, the target-offender relationship was usually romantic/sexual or familial, and 80% of the targeted women were ultimately killed. Compared to other mass shooters, perpetrators who targeted specific women more often (1) had a history of sex offending and domestic abuse, (2) were divorced/separated, (3) had experienced a recent breakup, and (4) had several other key characteristics. Implications for violence prevention and future research are discussed.

以特定女性为目标的公共枪击事件：目标-罪犯关系、时间和关键特征的实证分析。

在这项研究中，我们仔细研究了以特定女性为目标的公共枪击事件，并将其与其他枪击事件进行了定量比较。结果表明，在美国，近四分之一（24%）的公共枪击事件的目标是特定的女性，目标与罪犯的关系通常是浪漫/性或家庭关系，80%的目标女性最终被杀害。与其他大规模枪击者相比，以特定女性为目标的犯罪者更经常：(1)有性侵犯和家庭暴力的历史，(2)离婚/分居，(3)最近经历过分手，(4)有其他几个关键特征。讨论了暴力预防和未来研究的意义。
