Keeping with Tradition: Preference for the Longstanding Definition of Mass Shooting
Journal of Mass Violence Research(2022)
摘要
As defined back in the 1980s, the term “mass shooting” has long been understood to mean the intentional killing of four or more victims with gunfire in a single incident. However, recent efforts to examine this rare and tragic crime have employed alternate definitional criteria.

In this article, we advocate for the traditional definition in view of a variety of theoretical and methodological considerations.
