Complex Network Analysis of Mass Violation, Specifically Mass Killing

News reports in media contain news about society’s social and political conditions. With the help of publicly available digital datasets of events, it is possible to study a complex network of mass violations, i.e., Mass Killings. Multiple approaches have been applied to bring essential insights into the events and involved actors. Power law distribution behavior finds in the tail of actor mention, co-actor mention, and actor degree tells us about the dominant behavior of influential actors that grows their network with time. The United States, France, Israel, and a few other countries have been identified as major players in the propagation of Mass Killing throughout the past 20 years. It is demonstrated that targeting the removal of influential actors may stop the spreading of such conflicting events and help policymakers and organizations. This paper aims to identify and formulate the conflicts with the actor’s perspective at a global level for a period of time. This process is a generalization to be applied to any level of news, i.e., it is not restricted to only the global level.
