2. What explanatory factors are associated with the varying rates of participation, violence, and saving of other individuals (the Schindler-syndrome)? Statistical AnalysesAfter collecting our data from the diverse sources we consulted, our project engaged in some quantitative analyses to begin to address the question of why specific locations had certain activities (e.g., many deaths or torture), while others did not. We present some of our preliminary findings below. For these analyses, we focused upon where events took place (private locales, public locales, commercial spaces, religious spaces), how large the relevant area was (total surface area), commune size and the percentage of the population Hutu, Tutsi and Twa – as measured by the Census of 1992.
_________________________________________________________ Over the course of the next year, we will be engaging in more analyses. These will consider the influence of: --Spatial Location
--Time
--Prior Mobilization of Militias
