SIPRI has taken a new initiative aiming to establish the annual number of violent deaths worldwide. The Global Registry of Violent Deaths (GReVD) will count deaths caused by all forms of violence and display these in an open-source database that 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 GReVD consortium is a growing, global alliance of leading experts on the coding of violence. The consortium is convened by the Brookings Institution and the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute (SIPRI) who act as the secretariat and focal points for the consortium. Parties interested in joining the consortium should review the principles and standards.
