From Disparate Lists to Population Estimates: A Multiple Systems Estimation Workflow for Mortality Analysis in Conflict Settings
Highlights Nontraditional data sources can provide valuable insights into mortality in conflict settings. Missing data challenges are common, but they can be addressed with modeling approaches. Correcting missing data issues can alter substantive conclusions about mortality in conflict. Methods for addressing missing data are context agnostic and can be applied to other topics.
Changes in Fertility Trends and Women’s Fertility Desires in the Wake of the Homicide Surge in Mexico
Since 2006, Mexico has experienced a surge in homicides due to national policies and international influences on drug trafficking activities. Although the effects of the so-called “Drug War” have been extensively studied in demography and social science research, whether and how the increase in homicides has affected fertility is poorly understood. This study provides a comprehensive account of the association between homicides and changes in fer…
Weaponizing Kinship: A Demographic Analysis of Bereavement in the Colombian Conflict
The ongoing Colombian armed conflict has produced widespread homicides and enforced disappearances, as armed actors used violence to terrorize communities and consolidate power. Family bereavement—one of the most pervasive and enduring consequences of this violence—remains critically understudied from a quantitative perspective. We quantify the population burden of bereavement—ever having lost a family member to conflict—using kinship demographic…
Can we estimate crisis death tolls by subtracting total population estimates? A critical review and appraisal
BACKGROUND In the absence of high-quality data, the death tolls of epidemics, conflicts, and disasters are often estimated using ad hoc methods. One understudied class of methods, which we term the growth rate discontinuity method (GRDM), estimates death tolls by projecting pre-crisis and post-crisis total population estimates using crude growth rates and then subtracting the results. Despite, or perhaps due to, its simplicity, this method is the…
Obstetric violence in the context of community violence: The case of Mexico
Querying feminicide data in Mexico
The full extent of feminicide in Mexico remains unknown. When available, data on the gender-related killing of women and girls are often incomplete, inaccurate, or inexplicable. In this article, a sociologist (Saide) and a statistician (Maria) query feminicide data in Mexico. Drawing on Timnit Gebru et al.'s 'datasheets for datasets' and Sarah Holland et al.'s 'data nutrition label' frameworks, we zoom in on the two primary governmental sources m…
Statistical Biases, Measurement Challenges, and Recommendations for Studying Patterns of Femicide in Conflict
Collecting data on conflict mortality—including data on femicide—is difficult and can be dangerous. The resulting data is often incomplete and not statistically representative of the victim population as a whole. Data on femicide in conflict suffers from additional complications due to measurement challenges stemming from definitional and operational ambiguities. Despite these difficulties, as more and higher quality data on femicide becomes avai…
Repertoires of conflict-related sexual violence: Introducing the RSVAC data package
Scholars increasingly call for documentation and analysis of specific forms of conflict-related sexual violence. Moreover, accountability for crimes is stronger when specific patterns of victimization are documented. This article introduces the Repertoires of Sexual Violence in Armed Conflict (RSVAC) data package, which assembles reports from 1989 to 2015 of forms of sexual violence by government/states forces, insurgent/rebel organizations, and …
