James Alan Fox, Lipman Family Professor of Criminology, Law, and Public Policy, spoke with News@Northeastern about the newly launched Mass Killings Database, created in collaboration with the Associated Press and USA Today. The database provides information on every mass killing, by all weapons and means, in which four or more people (excluding the offender) were killed within a window of 24 hours. Less than 5% of mass shootings in the Gun Violence Archive are mass killings.
