The data: heat map

We have tried to bring the victims out of their anonymity as a matter of dignity. This was not possible for everyone, but we have sought as much information as possible (name, age, locality, motive, type of aggression and illustrative data on the story).

Determining the exact motive behind this type of homicide involves psychological and legal analysis of each case. Data collection from newspapers and other open sources multiplies the motive to be considered.

We set up a classification system based on the motives mentioned in our sources, considering that this affected the outcome, although in no case does it make any absolute or exclusive suppositions.

Fitting the psychological and philosophical reality of hate into statistical and mathematical parameters requires an in-depth multidisciplinary analysis, so these classifications will be revised in the future.

Fitting the psychological and philosophical reality of hate into statistical and mathematical parameters requires an in-depth multidisciplinary analysis, so that these classifications can be further studied in the future.

According to the victims identified, racism and xenophobia are the factors that have caused most deaths (26), followed by homophobia (21) and anti-Christianism (9).

In the cases where the perpetrators are known, Christians are considered “infidels” except for one case, an intolerant and fundamentalist secularist who considers believers to be worthy of death.
