The Armed Violence and Development line of research at the Conflict Analysis Resource Center (CERAC) has an ongoing project to keep an extensive record to measure and study the phenomenon of stray bullets within Colombia. To do so, its researchers have built an extensive database of material from the press and the National Police – the very first of its kind in Colombia.
CERAC have been able to conduct this project thanks to the support of our longterm partner the Small Arms Survey, (seek description on web). We gratefully acknowledge this support.
While the database has figures dating to 1929, it is far more comprehensive from 1990 onward. Having said that, data from the National Police is only available until 2011; any information from the past two years has been exclusively found by CERAC’s own research team
