This study examines available open-source data on Iraqi civilian fatalities and assesses problems associated with previous collection and analysis efforts. The authors present a more robust RAND Corporation Iraqi civilian violence dataset from which they derive new observations about trends in targeting and weapons in 2006. RAND's dataset reveals that the majority of attacks in the year 2006 against civilians were directed against individuals without any identifiable affiliation, and that most attacks were carried out using firearms (rather than via improvised explosive devices or suicide attacks). These findings lead to a proposed framework for future civilian fatality data-collection efforts in Iraq and beyond |

Until very recently, however, the U.S. military has not had a formal system for documenting the level of violence directed against Iraqi civilians. Therefore, other groups (such as nongovernmental organizations, the United Nations, and Iraqi ministries) have filled the vacuum in reporting, relying on media accounts, surveys, death certificates, and other open-source information to generate datasets of varying transparency and quality. The resulting statistics have generated widespread debate over sources, methods, and political biases. This study examines available open-source data on Iraqi civilian fatalities and assesses problems associated with previous collection and analysis efforts. The authors present a more robust RAND Corporation Iraqi civilian violence dataset from which they derive new observations about trends in targeting and weapons in 2006. RAND's dataset reveals that the majority of attacks in the year 2006 against civilians were directed against individuals without any identifiable affiliation, and that most attacks were carried out using firearms (rather than via improvised explosive devices or suicide attacks). These findings lead to a proposed framework for future civilian fatality data-collection efforts in Iraq and beyond Iraq War / (2003-2011) fast HISTORY / Military bisacsh POLITICAL SCIENCE / Security (National & International) bisacsh Battle casualties fast Civilian war casualties fast Counterinsurgency fast Violent deaths fast Unruhen swd Zivilbevölkerung swd Toter swd Statistik swd Unruhen gnd Zivilbevölkerung gnd Toter gnd Statistik gnd Statistik Iraq War, 2003-2011 Casualties Civilian war casualties Iraq Statistics Violent deaths Iraq Statistics Counterinsurgency Zivilbevölkerung (DE-588)4190984-7 gnd rswk-swf Unruhen (DE-588)4136263-9 gnd rswk-swf Statistik (DE-588)4056995-0 gnd rswk-swf Toter (DE-588)4185770-7 gnd rswk-swf Irak Irak (DE-588)4072920-5 gnd rswk-swf Irak (DE-588)4072920-5 g Unruhen (DE-588)4136263-9 s Zivilbevölkerung (DE-588)4190984-7 s Toter (DE-588)4185770-7 s Statistik (DE-588)4056995-0 s 1\p DE-604 Stahl, Dale Sonstige oth http://search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&scope=site&db=nlebk&db=nlabk&AN=268355 Aggregator Volltext 1\p cgwrk 20201028 DE-101 https://d-nb.info/provenance/plan#cgwrk |
