Victim demographics and DWI outcomes from perpetrators using particular methods: analysis of 60,481 Iraqi civilian deaths from short-duration violence, March 20, 2003 through March 19, 2008.

aOf the total 60,481 deaths from short-duration violence, this Table shows 56,780 deaths attributed to these single perpetrator groups alone. Because of space constraints, we do not show the distribution of the 1,471 adult civilians of unreported sex attributed to “unknown,” “Anti-Coalition.” and “Coalition,” or the 2,230 deaths attributed to “other” or “crossfire” (which include n = 44 adult civilians of unreported sex from “other” or “crossfire” for the total of n = 1,515 adult civilians of unreported sex). Deaths were attributed to Unknown perpetrators if an unidentified perpetrator attacked a civilian target and to Anti-Coalition perpetrators if the target was Coalition or Coalition-associated.bShort-duration events lasting 2 d or less that caused at least one reported civilian death.cUnless noted, data are for events involving the single method used alone (e.g., small arms gunfire only, not combined gunfire and mortar fire).dNumber (%) of men among the total of 17,939 men civilian victims from all perpetrators and all methods.eNumber (%) of women among the total of 1,981 women civilian victims from all perpetrators and all methods.fNumber (%) of children among the total of 2,146 child victims from all perpetrators and all methods. Within [ ] are shown numbers of boys, girls, and children of unreported sex.gNumber (%) of unreported age among the total of 36,900 civilian victims of unreported age from all perpetrators and all methods.h“Woman and Child DWI” = (n women + children killed/n women + children + men civilians killed) × (100). Possible DWI range is 0 to 100 [15]. Higher Woman and Child DWI outcomes indicate higher proportions of women and children among demographically identified civilian victims.iIncluded in Totals are deaths from “other,” “unknown,” or “combined” methods if attributable to the single perpetrator, not shown in the single-method rows above.CUS, children of unreported sex.
