SIPRI has set up a new initiative named Global Registry of Violent Deaths (GReVD) which is aiming to establish the annual number of violent deaths worldwide.
About:
SIPRI’s Global Registry of Violent Deaths (GReVD) will count deaths caused by all forms of violence and display these in an open-source database.
This will allow researchers, policymakers and the general public to track trends in violence at global, regional, national, provincial, city and municipal levels.
The database will hold a single entry for every violent death, including time, location, perpetrator, victim and type of violence.
The sources will be verifiable news reports of lethal events and processing will involve machine coding to handle the volume of entries, as well as human coding to ensure accuracy and consistency.
The first-phase of the project is funded by the Swedish Postcode Foundation and the United Kingdom’s Department for International Development.
